Rhizoboxes as Rapid Tools for the Study of Root Systems of Prunus Seedlings

Plants, 2022
Rootstocks are fundamental for peach production, and their architectural root traits determine their performance. Root-system architecture (RSA) analysis is one of the key factors involved in rootstock selection.

Phenotyping Tomato Root Developmental Plasticity in Response to Salinity in Soil Rhizotrons

Plant Phenomics, 2021
Plants have developed multiple strategies to respond to salt stress. In order to identify new traits related to salt tolerance, with potential breeding application, the research focus has recently been shifted to include root system architecture (RSA ...

Observing the invisible: X-ray CT for plant-microbe interactions. [PDF]

New Phytol
Utility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.

Analysis of Root System Architecture Affected by Swarming Behavior

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2020
The root system architecture (RSA) displays complex morphological characteristics because of diverse root growth behaviors. Recent studies have revealed that swarming behavior among roots is particularly important for RSA to adapt to environmental ...

Genotypic diversity and plasticity of root system architecture to nitrogen availability in oilseed rape.

PLoS ONE, 2021
In the emerging new agricultural context, a drastic reduction in fertilizer usage is required. A promising way to maintain high crop yields while reducing fertilizer inputs is to breed new varieties with optimized root system architecture (RSA), designed

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 ...
