Root system architecture (RSA) encompasses the three‐dimensional configuration of a plant’s root network, which plays a critical role in water and nutrient uptake, anchorage and overall plant fitness.

Aims This paper presents a displacement-based model for predicting the relationship between the increase in shear resistance and shear displacement for soils permeated with an entire plant root system ...

Background and aims In order to analyse root system architectures (RSAs) from captured images, a variety of manual (e.g. Data Analysis of Root Tracings, DART), semi-automated and fully automated ...

The plant root system is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that houses a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists, etc. These microorganisms together form the root ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence software to analyze plant root systems, laying out a protocol that can be applied to gather data on crop and model plant phenotypes (physical ...

In soil, nitrogen (N), an essential macronutrient for plant growth, exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. This necessitates plants to grapple with a complex array of environmental conditions in ...

As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...
