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.

Developing a buried herbicide method to assess rooting depth of different rice cultivars ( Oryza sativa L.)

Journal of Kerbala for Agricultural Sciences, 2018
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the main staple foods of the world. With the increase of population and the deficit of irrigated water, the increase in rice production that is predicted will be dependent on areas prone to drought.

Artificial soil (ArtSoil): Recreating soil conditions in synthetic plant growth media

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Controlled plant growth in laboratories can be achieved by cultivating plants under sterile or axenic conditions on predefined synthetic growth media, typically supplemented with sugar. In nature, plants do not receive exogenous sugar supplies, form symbiosis with microbes, and plant growth is influenced by soil edaphic factors.

Towards phosphorus recycling for agriculture by algae: Soil incubation and rhizotron studies using 33P-labeled microalgal biomass

, 2021
Algae effectively accumulate phosphorus (P) from the environment, qualifying them as a promising novel P fertilizer. We hypothesized that P in algae can be rapidly transformed in soil and mobilized for plant growth.

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.

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.

Rhizosphere organic anions play a minor role in improving crop species’ ability to take up residual phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils low in P availability

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Many arable lands have accumulated large reserves of residual phosphorus (P) and a relatively large proportion of soil P is less available for uptake by plants. Root released organic anions are widely documented as a key physiological strategy to enhance

MONITORING THE MICROENVIRONMENT OF THE TURFGRASS RHIZOTRON (ROOT LENGTH)

, 1987
The microenvironment of the turfgrass rhizotron located at UNARDC near Mead was investigated. The rhizotron facility has two observation rooms, each containing 20 removable root cell containers.

A mechanistic model for electrical conduction in soil–root continuum: a virtual rhizotron study [PDF]

, 2018
Abstract. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has become an important tool to study soil water fluxes in cropped field. ERT results translates to water content via empirical pedophysical relations that take soil physical properties into account, usually ignoring the impact of roots. Studies shows high root dense soils behaves quite differently than

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,
