abstract = {Functional–structural root-system models simulate the
relations between root-system architectural and hydraulic
properties, and the spatio-temporal distributions of water
and solutes in the root zone. Such models may help identify
optimal plant properties for breeding and contribute to
increased water-use efficiency. However, it must first be
demonstrated that they accurately reproduce the processes
they intend to describe. This is challenging because the
flow and transport processes towards individual roots are
hard to observe. In this study, we demonstrate how this
problem can be addressed by combining co-registered root and
tracer distributions obtained from magnetic resonance
imaging with a root-system model in an inverse modeling
scheme. The main features in the tracer distributions were
well reproduced by the model using realistic root hydraulic
parameters. By combining the functional–structural
root-system model with 4D tracer observations, we were able
to quantify the water uptake distribution of a growing root
system. We determined that $76\%$ of the transpiration was
extracted through 3rd-order roots. The simulations also
demonstrated that accurate water uptake distribution cannot
be directly derived either from observations of tracer
accumulation or from water depletion. However, detailed
tracer experiments combined with process-based models help
decipher mechanisms underlying root water uptake.},
