Variations in root system architecture and root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes using a new scanner-based phenotyping system

There is a need to breed for root systems architectures (RSAs) that optimise soil resource acquisition. This requires high resolution and high-throughput quantification of RSA in as natural an environment as possible. Current imaging techniques are limited by cost, reproducibility, throughput and co...
