The Rapid Anatomics Tool (RAT): A low-cost root anatomical phenotyping pipeline reveals changes in root anatomy along the root axis

Dylan H. Jones, Juan Carlos Baca Cabrera, Dominik Behrend, Darren M. Wells, Joel F. Swift, Jonathan A. Atkinson, Guillaume Lobet, Meredith T. Hanlon, Hannah Schneider

The paper introduces RAT, a low-cost root anatomical imaging system, and shows reduced vascular complexity in wheat crown roots from basal to distal regions.

Root System Architecture Reorganization Under Decreasing Soil Phosphorus Lowers Root System Conductance of Zea mays

Felix Bauer, Dirk Norbert Baker, Mona Giraud, Juan Carlos Baca Cabrera, Jan Vanderborght, Guillaume Lobet, Andrea Schnepf

This study examines how decreasing phosphorus availability affects root system architecture and conductance in Zea mays, showing reduced conductance with lower phosphorus levels.

The evolution of root hydraulic traits in wheat over 100 years of breeding

Juan C. Baca Cabrera, Jan Vanderborght, Yann Boursiac, Dominik Behrend, Thomas Gaiser, Thuy Huu Nguyen, Guillaume Lobet

This study examines how 100 years of wheat breeding affected root hydraulic traits, finding a decline in root number and hydraulic conductance while root diameter remained stable.
