MRI in soils: determination of water concent changes due to root water uptake by means of a multi-slice-multi-echo sequence (MSME) [PDF]
, 2010 Root water uptake by ricinus communis (castor bean) in fine sand was investigated using MRI with multiecho sampling. Before starting the experiments the plants germinated and grew for 3 weeks in a cylindrical container with a diameter of 9 cm ...

Stochastic soil water dynamics of phreatophyte vegetation with dimorphic root systems [PDF]
, 2009 As the direct uptake of deep groundwater by vegetation may be essential in semiarid regions, we incorporated this process in stochastic root zone water balance models.

The Role of Aquaporins in Root Water Uptake [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 The capacity of roots to take up water is determined in part by the resistance of living tissues to radial water flow. Both the apoplastic and cell-to-cell paths mediate water transport in these tissues but the contribution of cell membranes to the latter path has long been difficult to estimate. Aquaporins are water channel proteins that are expressed
