abstract = {The development of a root system which is adequate for the
respective growing conditions of a plant is critical for
survival, performance and yield. Furthermore for “Root
Crops” where the yield-relevant organ is developing
belowground, the processes leading to amount and quality of
the product at harvest also happen among the plants hidden
half. The opaque nature of soil prevents direct observation
and while a number of approaches for observing 2D root
development such as rhizotrons have been applied
successfully, roots naturally develop in interaction with
the 3D soil environment and form complex 3D structures.
Therefore the ability to deep-phenotype the 3D structure and
function of roots and other belowground structures
non-invasively yields a high potential for gaining new
insights into root development, its regulation and responses
to stress. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique
that allows for visualization and quantification of root
system architecture traits in soil such as root length and
mass but also of internal structures of belowground storage
organs. Positron emission tomography (PET) using short-lived
radiotracer 11CO2 provides additional imaging of the
photoassimilate distribution and flow characteristics can be
extracted with a model-based analysis. We show here
application of both techniques for visualization and
quantification of root system architecture, anatomy and
photoassimilate allocation.},
