ALT Platform for phenotyping root respiration and other root traits of winter wheat seedlings.
ALT An example image from the linked public image set showing a greyscale scan of 12 copper wires with varying diameter and approximately equal lengths.
ALT Tabular data with 5 columns and 28 data rows, 1 row for each image of one or more wires. The column names are file name, average diameter, total length, total surface area, total projected area, and total volume. CSV file of this data available in the linked public repository.
ALT Photo of three gas analyzers and bead bath described in the illustrated protocol included in the link.
ALT Page describing title, authors, and parts needed in the illustrated protocol. Full text included as PDF in the link.
ALT Page describing methods and root chamber in the illustrated protocol. Full text included as PDF in the link.
ALT Page describing use of the gas analyzer software in the illustrated protocol. Full text included as PDF in the link.
ALT Figure showing uptake by roots and difference between total uptake and specific uptake on a length basis
ALT Figures showing how uptake of nutrients are correlated, if you increase uptake of one nutrient, then others increase. Increased uptake is also associated with increased respiration, a possible cost.
ALT How seeds are germinated to place roots in tubes that go into common hydroponics bins. Those tubes make it easy to transfer to individual roots to solution chambers to measure uptake by depletion.
