Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017 The main objective of this paper was to evaluate the effect of applying biochar and activated carbon on winter wheat affected by drought in model laboratory conditions. Cultivation tests of the soil‑microorganisms‑plant (winter wheat) system were focused

Breeding of Bread Wheat With Drought Adaptive Root Traits
Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Global wheat production is extending to dryland and tropical environments prone to drought and heat stress due to breeding and deploying new‐generation ideotypes with desirable product profiles. However, yield gains are low and stagnant under these environments, attributable to abiotic stresses, primarily drought.

Non-invasive monitoring of hydraulic processes in the rhizosphere using shortwave infrared imaging [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesExisting methods for non-destructive, ex-situ investigation of the rhizosphere include X-Ray Computed Tomography. However, this method is time-consuming, requires specialist skills to operate, and, most of all, it is impractical for multiple replications.

Quantification of root reinforcement in bio-slope stabilization: laboratory and field studies
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Bio-slope stabilization is an environmentally friendly and sustainable technique for rehabilitation and maintenance of slope infrastructure. The processes in which these plants stabilize the slope, particularly root reinforcement, and evapotranspiration,

Segmentation of roots in soil with U-Net
Plant Methods, 2020 Background Plant root research can provide a way to attain stress-tolerant crops that produce greater yield in a diverse array of conditions. Phenotyping roots in soil is often challenging due to the roots being difficult to access and the use of time ...

Plant Methods, 2015 Well-developed and functional roots are critical to support plant life and reach high crop yields. Their study however, is hampered by their underground growth and characterizing complex root system architecture (RSA) therefore remains a challenge. In the last few years, several phenotyping methods, including rhizotrons and x-ray computed tomography ...

Root Phenotyping for Drought Tolerance: A Review
Agronomy, 2018 Plant roots play a significant role in plant growth by exploiting soil resources via the uptake of water and nutrients. Root traits such as fine root diameter, specific root length, specific root area, root angle, and root length density are considered ...
