Silicon Effects on the Root System of Diverse Crop Species Using Root Phenotyping Technology
Plants, 2021 Roots play an essential function in the plant life cycle, as they utilize water and essential nutrients to promote growth and plant productivity. In particular, root morphology characteristics (such as length, diameter, hairs, and lateral growth) and the

Systems approaches to study root architecture dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 The plant root system is essential for providing anchorage to the soil, supplying minerals and water, and synthesizing metabolites. It is a dynamic organ modulated by external cues such as environmental signals, water and nutrients availability, salinity and others. Lateral roots (LRs) are initiated from the primary root post-embryonically, after which

Challenges to design-oriented breeding of root system architecture adapted to climate change
Breeding Science, 2021 Roots are essential organs for capturing water and nutrients from the soil. In particular, root system architecture (RSA) determines the extent of the region of the soil where water and nutrients can be gathered.

Iterative image segmentation of plant roots for high-throughput phenotyping
Scientific Reports, 2022 Accurate segmentation of root system architecture (RSA) from 2D images is an important step in studying phenotypic traits of root systems. Various approaches to image segmentation exist but many of them are not well suited to the thin and reticulated ...
