Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation. Here we report the impact of isoprene on root‐associated microbiomes. Using isoprene‐emitting (IE) transgenic tobacco and isogenic non‐emitting (NE) controls, we performed co‐cultivation experiments in natural soil and analysed plant phenotypes ...

Root trait dynamics of historical canola varieties under low and high nitrogen supply
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Nitrogen fertilizer is a major input cost in crop production, making it crucial to enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to reduce fertilizer dependence without compromising yields. Root system architecture (RSA) is a key determinant of nutrient acquisition, particularly under nutrient‐limited conditions.

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 16, 21 August 2026.This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

An evaluation of inexpensive methods for root image acquisition when using rhizotrons
Plant Methods, 2017 Belowground processes play an essential role in ecosystem nutrient cycling and the global carbon budget cycle. Quantifying fine root growth is crucial to the understanding of ecosystem structure and function and in predicting how ecosystems respond to climate variability.

Identification of Vicia ervilia Germplasm Resistant to Orobanche crenata
Plants, 2020 Bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia L.) is an ancient grain legume used as animal feed in the Mediterranean basin. This legume has a large economical potential because of its high yield under low inputs and good protein content, as well as resistance to cold and

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.

Organ‐specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype‐dependent
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1437-1453, August 2026.Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids. Abstract Specialized metabolites such as terpenoids are known to mediate plant defence mechanisms. However, how terpenoid diversity governs inducible chemistry across organs remains poorly understood.

A Scanner-based Root Image Acquisition Technique for Measuring Roots on a Rhizotron Window [PDF]
HortScience, 2003 A simple flatbed-scanner-based image acquisition system was developed for the measurement of `Gala'/M9 ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) apple tree root growth in rhizoboxes with a transparent acrylic sheet on one side.

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.
