Utility of root cortical aerenchyma under water limited conditions in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) (2015, methodology): “Root crowns were excavated 123 using the ‘shovelomics’ method (Trachsel et al., 2011).”
Evaluating physiological responses of plants to salinity stress (2016, background): “‘Shovelomics’ and similar methods, in which the roots are excavated and analysed, have been proposed as an approach to characterize root system architecture under field conditions, but these methods are time consuming and involve destructive analysis (Trachsel et al., 2011; Bucksch et al., 2014).”
GROWSCREEN-Rhizo is a novel phenotyping robot enabling simultaneous measurements of root and shoot growth for plants grown in soil-filled rhizotrons. (2012, background): “Remarkably, however, dedicated and trained teams can visually score root traits of excavated adult maize plants within a few minutes (Trachsel et al. 2011).”
Root Phenes for Enhanced Soil Exploration and Phosphorus Acquisition: Tools for Future Crops (2011, methodology): “Vol. 156, 2011 1047 of important root architectural phenes can be rapidly phenotyped in the field using a simple manual method called shovelomics, in which root crowns are excavated and visually scored for several root phenes at a rate of 2 min/plot (Trachsel et al., 2010).”
Field-based phenomics for plant genetics research (2012, background): “, 2006a,b) or root morphology (Trachsel et al., 2011).”
Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (2011, background): “Moreover, root angle can be phenotyped in young seedlings of bean or soybean under laboratory conditions, and can be phenotyped with more mature plants in the field by excavating root systems (‘shovelomics’; Trachsel et al. 2011).”
GiA Roots: software for the high throughput analysis of plant root system architecture (2012, positive): “Recently, standardized field procedures have been developed for quantifying RSA using excavated and washed roots [11].”
REVIEW: PART OF A HIGHLIGHT ON BREEDING STRATEGIES FOR FORAGE AND GRASS IMPROVEMENT Advanced phenotyping offers opportunities for improved breeding of forage and turf species (2012, methodology): “Approaches for the analysis of root phenotypes in the field comprise visualizations of excavated root systems (shovelomics; Trachsel et al., 2011), analysis of root parameters via camera systems inserted into the soil in small plexiglas tubes (minirhizotrons; see review by Johnson et al., 2001) or…”
Three-Dimensional Root Phenotyping with a Novel Imaging and Software Platform1[C][W][OA] (2011, background): “Predictive techniques provide insight about root systems by extrapolating root information from soil cores and root crowns of ﬁeld-grown plants (Trachsel et al., 2011) or from plants grown in controlled growth systems including hydroponic, pouch, pot, and plate systems.”
