Field phenotyping of root system for application in plant breeding

Original language description

The increase of agricultural drought risk, as climate models predict, enhance the importance of the crop root system in the future. Moreover, quantitative features characterizing the root system such as length, area, weight, root density, depth of root penetration and root diameter are genotypically bound but also influenced by the environment. It is difficult to predict or model their behaviour. Adaptability allows the plant to optimize the costs expended to create and maintain the root system with access to water and nutrients. Selecting a suitable variety (based on the root system properties) into a specific area can be the key to a grower&apos;s success. The aim of this article is (i) to provide detailed description and thus standardization of promising procedures: for sampling of the plant root system using a direct soil-core method that allows for evaluation of the root system architecture, (ii) subsequent evaluation of root system parameters using digital image analysis, (iii) demonstrate practical experience using the direct method of sampling and evaluation of the plant root system for application in plant breeding. The described method of plant root system evaluation applicable in field conditions, usable for root phenotyping have been applied in research and practice many times. However, they have not been standardized in the Czech Republic and obligatory procedures have not yet been published.
