Wheat root system architecture and soil moisture distribution in an aggregated soil using neutron computed tomography

Non-invasive techniques are essential to deepen our understanding of root-soil interactions in situ. Neutron computed tomography (NCT) is an example of such techniques that have been successfully used to study these interactions in high resolution. Many of the studies using NCT however, have invariably focused on lupine plants and thus there is limited information available on other more commercially important staple crop plants such as wheat...
