Root Architecture Analysis
Root Architecture Analysis is a quantitative method in agronomy and plant science that characterises the spatial configuration, branching pattern, and geometric properties of a plant's root system. By measuring parameters such as total root length, lateral root density, root angle, and root tip number, researchers link below-ground structural traits to nutrient and water acquisition efficiency, soil penetration capacity, and ultimately to crop productivity and stress tolerance.
