A New Compartmentalised Rhizotron System for Root Phenotyping [PDF]

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2015
Although roots are the key organs for plant fitness, studies on root phenotyping and dynamics of water uptake are difficult and costly. Here we present a new compartmentalised rhizotron system that attempts to integrate some positive features of conventional methods for assessing root patterns at field and laboratory scale.

An Inexpensive Rhizotron for Teaching Weed Biology

Weed Technology, 1990
A rhizotron containing 10 1.5-by 1.2-by 2.4-m chambers and two 1.5-by 1.2-by 1.2-m chambers for plant growth was constructed for teaching purposes at Montana State University. The rhizotron, constructed of pressure-treated plywood and redwood lumber, has a life expectancy of 40 yr and a prorated cost of approximately $100/yr.

Evaluation of deep root phenotyping techniques in tube rhizotrons

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science, 2018
Selection for deep rooting is critical for the development of genotypes that are able to explore deep soil water and nutrients, particularly as agricultural resources become more limited. However, current root phenotyping techniques demand significant investments of time, money, and effort, and measurements on very young plants or plants grown under ...

Mapping the Centimeter-Scale Spatial Variability of PAHs and Microbial Populations in the Rhizosphere of Two Plants [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
International audienceRhizoremediation uses root development and exudation to favor microbial activity. Thus it can enhance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) biodegradation in contaminated soils. Spatial heterogeneity of rhizosphere processes, mainly

Novel scanning procedure enabling the vectorization of entire rhizotron-grown root systems [PDF]

Plant Methods, 2013
: This paper presents an original spit-and-combine imaging procedure that enables the complete vectorization of complex root systems grown in rhizotrons. The general principle of the method is to (1) separate the root system into a small number of large pieces to reduce root overlap, (2) scan these pieces one by one, (3) analyze separate images with a ...

“Rhizoponics”: a novel hydroponic rhizotron for root system analyses on mature Arabidopsis thaliana plants

Plant Methods, 2015
Well-developed and functional roots are critical to support plant life and reach high crop yields. Their study however, is hampered by their underground growth and characterizing complex root system architecture (RSA) therefore remains a challenge. In the last few years, several phenotyping methods, including rhizotrons and x-ray computed tomography ...
