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.

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.

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,

Histological Studies of Mycorrhized Roots and Mycorrhizal-Like-Structures in Pine Roots [PDF]

, 2018
Several studies have shown the potential of using Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in conifer micropropagation to overcome the cessation of adventitious root development.

Underutilised Legumes for Advancing Climate‐Smart Agriculture in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa faces intersecting challenges of food insecurity, malnutrition and climate variability, exacerbated by the predominance of rainfed agriculture and limited input use. Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) offers a framework to address these issues through increased productivity, enhanced resilience and reduced environmental impact.

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 ...

Novel Sources of Witchweed (Striga) Resistance from Wild Sorghum Accessions [PDF]

, 2017
Sorghum is a major food staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Striga that attaches to the roots of many cereals crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. Away from cultivated farmland, wild

Affordable phenomics: Expanding access to enhancing genetic gain in plant breeding

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Plant breeders need to evaluate large breeding populations rapidly and accurately to identify and assess genetic variation responsible for many traits, including yield, quality, resistance, and climate resilience. Although advanced molecular tools, including marker‐assisted selection, genomic selection, and gene editing, are being used to ...

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 ...
