abstract = {Root phenotyping is a challenging task, mainly because of
the hidden nature of this organ. Only recently, imaging
technologies have become available that allow us to
elucidate the dynamic establishment of root structure and
function in the soil. In root tips, optical analysis of the
relative elemental growth rates in root expansion zones of
hydroponically-grown plants revealed that it is the maximum
intensity of cellular growth processes rather than the
length of the root growth zone that control the acclimation
to dynamic changes in temperature. Acclimation of entire
root systems was studied at high throughput in agar-filled
Petri dishes. In the present study, optical analysis of root
system architecture showed that low temperature induced
smaller branching angles between primary and lateral roots,
which caused a reduction in the volume that roots access at
lower temperature. Simulation of temperature gradients
similar to natural soil conditions led to differential
responses in basal and apical parts of the root system, and
significantly affected the entire root system. These results
were supported by first data on the response of root
structure and carbon transport to different root zone
temperatures. These data were acquired by combined magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (
PET). They indicate acclimation of root structure and
geometry to temperature and preferential accumulation of
carbon near the root tip at low root zone temperatures.
Overall, this study demonstrated the value of combining
different phenotyping technologies that analyse processes at
different spatial and temporal scales. Only such an
integrated approach allows us to connect differences between
genotypes obtained in artificial high throughput conditions
with specific characteristics relevant for field
performance. Thus, novel routes may be opened up for
improved plant breeding as well as for mechanistic
understanding of root structure and function.},
