Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The plant root tip is highly sensitive to environmental cues and exerts sensory, chemical and movement responses. However, the microbial diversification at the root tip, and the nature of root‐selection for microbes, are poorly understood. This study investigated root exudation and microbiome colonisation in the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L ...

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.

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.

Shaping the rhizosphere: How barley domestication altered root traits and microbiome interactions
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract Climate change and soil degradation are rapidly transforming agricultural systems, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of how crops interact with their surrounding microbiomes. Barley, as one of the earliest domesticated cereal crops, serves as a valuable model for investigating the effects of domestication on root traits ...

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

A review of preferential flow and transport through root channels
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract Preferential flow can contribute up to 80%–90% of the flow and transport in the vadose zone. The root channels are the most prevalent form of preferential pathways. They create an evolving network of preferential pathways and are biogeochemical hotspots due to preferential transport of nutrients and other organics, colonization of bacteria ...

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.

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.

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.
