      abstract     = {Root architectural models (RSA) have become important tools
                      in root research and plantphenotyping for studying root
                      traits, processes, and interactions with the environment.
                      Themodels have been used to simulate how various root traits
                      and processes influence waterand nutrient uptake. At a more
                      technical level, they have been used to develop
                      phenotypingtechnology, particularly for testing algorithms
                      for segmenting roots. To compute thesequantitative estimates
                      regarding plant nutrition and root functioning, much
                      developmentoccurred in the last decade increasing the
                      complexity of the models. In this chapter, wedescribe first
                      the application of the models to questions in plant biology,
                      breeding, andagronomy, and second the development of the
                      models. We end with a small outlooksuggesting that models
                      need benchmarking and validation and that new developments
                      arelikely to include better descriptions of root plasticity
