Roots are essential for plant growth, but traditional methods of studying roots are resource-intensive and damaging. With advancements in image processing techniques, innovative methods for in situ ...

For plant biologists, understanding how plants grow and interact with soil is vital for selecting resilient crops that can efficiently take up water and nutrients. But how do you monitor what is ...

Root biology is pivotal in addressing global challenges including sustainable agriculture and climate change. However, roots have been relatively understudied among plant organs, partly due to the ...

In this interview, Marco Versiani describes the Root Canal Anatomy Project, which involves sharing free images and videos acquired using Micro-CT, to professors, students and clinicians across the ...

A breakthrough in plant-root imaging may help breeders develop crops that are more resilient to harsh conditions, say Mexican researchers.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a novel robotic platform to rapidly analyze plant root systems as they grow, yielding AI-ready data to accelerate the development of stress-tolerant crops ...

Growing plants in a microscope is helping scientists to view roots developing in 3-D and in real time. Scientists already know that lateral roots in plants develop from cells deep within the main root ...
