Detection of quantitative trait loci for rice root systems grown in paddies based on nondestructive phenotyping using X-ray computed tomography.

Abstract excerpt

Plant roots are essential for water and nutrient uptake, as well as resistance to abiotic stresses. While measuring root systems under field conditions is labor-intensive, most quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to root traits have been detected under artificial conditions. However, QTLs identified under artificial conditions may not always manifest the expected effects that are observed under field...
