Advancing Canning Quality in Common Beans: An Integrated Farm‐to‐Can Framework Combining Breeding, Processing, and Artificial Intelligence

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are essential raw material for the canning industry. This article reviews recent advances in assessing canning quality and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into breeding methodologies aimed at developing genotypes with superior yield and canning‐quality traits.

Small Signaling Peptides in Sorghum bicolor: Integrating Phylogeny and Gene Expression to Characterize Roles in Stem Development

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Small signaling peptides (SSPs) are important regulators of plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stress, yet their role in the C4 grass Sorghum bicolor is largely uncharacterized. To help fill this knowledge gap, 219 sorghum genes that encode SSPs were identified based on SSP sequences previously identified in ...

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.

In situ Measurement of Rooting Density by Micro-Rhizotron [PDF]

Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1985
Measurement of the root system is becoming increasingly important to investigate the soil-plant system. A practical method to measure root length, the line intersection method was developed by NEWMAN (1966). The method can be applied for measure. ments of the root growth behind the observation window of a rhizotron (HEAD, 1966) but it does not afford ...

MycoRed: Betalain pigments enable in vivo real-time visualisation of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation.

PLoS Biology, 2021
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) are mutualistic interactions formed between soil fungi and plant roots. AM symbiosis is a fundamental and widespread trait in plants with the potential to sustainably enhance future crop yields.

Using clear plastic CD cases as low‐cost mini‐rhizotrons to phenotype root traits

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Premise We developed a novel low‐cost method to visually phenotype belowground structures in the plant rhizosphere. We devised the method introduced here to address the difficulties encountered growing plants in seed germination pouches for long‐term ...

Automated quantification of fine root production from minirhizotron image time series

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 758-767, March 2026.
Abstract Plant root growth accounts for a major part of the net primary production in grassland and forest ecosystems and influences the global carbon and nutrient cycles. Measuring the production of roots is inherently difficult, prone to inconsistencies and time‐consuming. Notably, there are currently no methods yet to automate this task.

Decoding Peanut Root Adaptation to Combined Environmental Stresses: Challenging the Single‐Stress Paradigm

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), a major food and oilseed legume, is increasingly cultivated under marginal and stress‐prone environments. The complex reality of agricultural systems often involves simultaneous exposure to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors such as drought, salinity, nutrient imbalances, toxic metal accumulation, and pathogenic attacks,

ESTIMATING FINE_ROOT LONGEVITY OF FRAXINUS MANDSHURICAAND LARIX GMELINII USING MINI-RHIZOTRONS [PDF]

Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology, 2007
Aims Fine-roots (≤2 mm diameter) are important in controlling energy and matter exchange between tree and soil. Fine-root longevity is a critical determinant of fine-root turnover and therefore carbon allocation and nutrients returned to the soil.
