Agronomy, 2021 To evaluate phosphorus (P) availability and the role of microorganisms in P dynamics in the barley rhizosphere, we constructed a rhizobox using two arable Andosols under different fertilization management regimens and cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.

Observing the invisible: X‐ray CT for plant–microbe interactions
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 959-966, August 2026.Utility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 3, Page 315-329, June 2026.Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1628-1640, May 2026.Abstract Measuring directional root placement is critical for understanding plant responses to their below‐ground environment, and particularly their competing neighbours. Directional root placement is commonly measured using image analysis of roots growing in transparent pots (rhizoboxes), where the length of the root system of the target plants is ...

Study of Effects of Sorghum Cultivation on Some Soil Biological Indicators at Different Zinc Levels
مجله آب و خاک, 2015 Zinc is an essential element for plant growth which its high concentrations can cause pollution and toxicity in plant. In this study, the effects of sorghum cultivation on some indicators of microbial activity and its association with increased zinc ...

Chemical behavior of Cd, Pb and their interaction in rhizosphere and bulk
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2000 The present paper deals with the chemical behavior of Pb, Cd and their interaction in rhizosphere and bulk after growing plants (rice or wheat) using a rhizobox or rhizobag.

Deep roots through time and crops: insight from five seasons at DeepRootLab
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2670-2688, May 2026.Summary Deep‐rooted crops accessing water and nutrients from deep soil layers enhance the resource base for crop production. However, studying these roots in field conditions is labour‐intensive, limiting research scope. We established a field root research facility with 48 plots for replicated experiments.

Time-Series Neutron Tomography of Rhizoboxes
Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of tilt-series neutron tomography for analyzing rhizoboxes used in root-soil interaction studies. Traditional neutron imaging methods are limited by constrained root growth volumes and poor penetration in moist soil.
