A root is a root is a root? Water uptake rates of Citrus root orders [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2010 ABSTRACTKnowledge about the physiological function of root orders is scant. In this study, a system to monitor the water flux among root orders was developed using miniaturized chambers. Different root orders of 4‐year‐old Citrus volkameriana trees were analysed with respect to root morphology and water flux.
