Multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography as a non-invasive tool to characterize and monitor crop root systems [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
A better understanding of root–soil interactions and associated processes is essential in achieving progress in crop breeding and management, prompting the need for high-resolution and non-destructive characterization methods.

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.

Rhizotron: A Unique Technique for Root Study: A Review

Agricultural Reviews
Roots, which holds the plant in the soil and responsible for water and nutrient uptake is the most unique plant part essential for survival. Root characters like length, diameter and surface area are the important parameters that have to be measured for evaluating root growth.

Effect of phosphorus deficiency on biomass and root system architecture in diverse Medicago accessions

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPhosphorus (P) is essential for legume growth and symbiotic nitrogen fixation, yet its low availability in many soils frequently constrains plant productivity.MethodsTo evaluate phenotypic and genotypic variation in P efficiency, 200 ...

Sensitivity of redox conditions to irrigation practice and organic matter decomposition in a rotational flooded rice (Oryza sativa) cropping system

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1804-1816, November/December 2025.
Abstract Agricultural practices in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of South Florida have focused on managing accelerated organic matter (OM) decomposition in Histosols, which leads to soil subsidence. Rotating flooded rice (Oryza sativa L., variety Diamond) during the summer fallow period of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) has been proposed

Basal lignified star-shaped cavity in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.): early development in nursery and consequences for BSR control [PDF]

, 2010
The existence of a high lignified star-shaped cavity at the base of the bole, or more precisely at the root - bole interface, has been clearly identified for the first time.

Mineral acquisition from a different angle – how the root angle in cereals determines nutrient uptake

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 576-586, October 2025.
Summary Plant roots are vital for absorbing soil resources and directly impact crop productivity. Because nutrients are unevenly distributed through soil layers, root system architecture (RSA) is a key trait influencing nutrient uptake. Shallow RSA can enhance access to surface nutrients, while steeper architectures help reach deeper nutrients.

Haplotype‐based insights into seminal root angle in barley

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Root system architecture (RSA) plays a crucial role in crop adaptation and yield stability, especially in the context of climate change and variable growing conditions. Despite this, the genetic basis of RSA remains poorly understood in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), necessitating the need for more research to better characterize this ...

Development of Pea Breeding Lines with Resistance to Orobanche crenata Derived from Pea Landraces and Wild Pisum spp.

Agronomy, 2020
Pea (Pisum sativum) is an important grain legume worldwide whose cultivation is severely constrained by the root parasitic weed crenate broomrape (Orobanche crenata), which is widespread in the Mediterranean Basin and Middle East.
