      abstract     = {Individual plants vary in their ability to respond to
                      environmental changes. The plastic response of a plant
                      enhances its ability to avoid environmental constraints, and
                      hence supports growth and reproduction, and evolutionary and
                      agricultural success. Due to the opaque nature of soil, a
                      direct observation of belowground processes is not possible.
                      Major progress in the analysis of belowground processes on
                      individual plants has been made by the application of
                      non-invasive imaging methods including Magnetic Resonance
                      Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). MRI
                      allows for repetitive measurements of roots growing in soil
                      and facilitates quantification of root system architecture
                      traits in 3D. PET, on the other hand, opens a door to
                      analyze dynamic physiological processes in plants such as
                      long-distance carbon transport in a repeatable manner.
                      Combining MRI with PET enables monitoring of carbon tracer
                      allocation along the transport paths (i.e. roots visualized
                      by MRI) into active sink structures such as nodules. We will
                      highlight our approaches for gathering quantitative data
                      from both image-based technologies. In particular the
                      combination of MRI and PET has high potential for gaining
                      deeper insights into dynamics of root growth and, for
                      example, interactions with microbes for revealing novel
                      traits demanded in ecological studies or breeding programs
                      for future crops.},
