Circadian Variation of Root Water Status in Three Herbaceous Species Assessed by Portable NMR
Plants, 2021 Roots are at the core of plant water dynamics. Nonetheless, root morphology and functioning are not easily assessable without destructive approaches. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and particularly low-field NMR (LF-NMR), is an interesting noninvasive

Urochloa brizantha Interference in the Phaseolus vulgaris Radicular System Fertilized with Phosphorus [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2019 : Interference between root systems occurs below the ground surface long before the competition between plants is expressed in the shoot. Nutrients stand out for being limited in the soil, requiring supplementation, especially phosphorus.

Phenotypic and histological analyses on the resistance of melon to Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2023 Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important crop in Xinjiang, China, but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca that attaches to the roots of many crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. Rhizotron,

Precrop-treated soil influences wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root system architecture and its response to drought. [PDF]
Front Plant SciAimsRoot system architecture (RSA) plays an important role in the plant’s ability to sustain yield under abiotic stresses such as drought. Preceding crops (precrops) can affect the yield of the proceeding crop, partially by affecting the RSA.

Optimizing root measurements in rhizotrons [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract Background and Aims The line intersect method is widely used in rhizotron and minirhizotron studies to quantify roots and study cultivar and treatment differences in root growth. We investigated ways to optimize the line intersect method and root depth measurements with respect to data ...
