Root biology and genetic improvement for drought avoidance in rice (2011, background): “Although there are many comprehensive reviews of methods for root study that describe methods commonly used (e.g., soil cores, monolith, minirhizotrons, pots, and solution culture; Gregory, 2006; Smit et al., 2000; Böhm, 1979), some methods have been particularly used for rice and are outlined here.”
Physiology of the Potato: New Insights into Root System and Repercussions for Crop Management (2008, methodology): “Sampling Method There are many methods to observe root length in the field (Schuurman and Godewaagen 1971; Smit et al. 2000), including the pin-board method, the monolithsampling method, the soil-block-sampling method, the core-sampling method, etc.”
Release of plant-borne flavonoids into the rhizosphere and their role in plant nutrition (2010, background): “2000; Neumann 2006) or even root windows in the field (Smit et al. 2000; Neumann et al. 2009) may allow estimation of flavonoid concentrations in the rhizosphere under more realistic conditions.”
A Novel Image-Analysis Toolbox Enabling Quantitative Analysis of Root System Architecture1[W][OA] (2011, background): “This technology potentially provides images of high quality (Smit et al., 2000) but is time consuming and may not be suitable for high-throughput image acquisition.”
The role of fine and coarse roots in shallow slope stability and soil erosion control with a focus on root system architecture: a review (2007, background): “Several literature reviews exist of root visualization and measurement methods (e.g. Böhm 1979; Gregory 2006; Kienhuis 1987; Smit et al. 2000; Waisel et al. 2002).”
A plant root system architectural taxonomy: A framework for root nomenclature (2010, background): “Because roots normally reside in the soil, they cannot easily be observed except through some form of disturbance or severe alteration to their environment (Böhm 1979; Smit et al. 2000).”
DEFINING A PLANT'S BELOWGROUND ZONE OF INFLUENCE (2003, background): “Excavations tend to miss many fine roots (Smit et al. 2000) that are most important for resource uptake (Passioura 1988, Robinson 2001).”
Impact of root architecture on the erosion‐reducing potential of roots during concentrated flow (2007, background): “Discussion Impact of Fibrous Roots and Tap Roots on Soil Detachment In order to investigate whether the assumption of Wischmeier (1975) (i.e. that fibrous root systems have a different effect on erosion rates than tap root systems) is correct, the curves reported by Wischmeier (1975) were compared w”
