Quantitative analysis of root system architecture and fresh weight biomass traits highlight phenotypic variation in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) germplasm.

Abstract excerpt

Radish exhibits remarkable diversity in root morphology and architecture, which are crucial traits for nutrient and water uptake, stress adaptation and marketability. This study assessed root variability in 23 radish accessions, including a wild relative, landraces, and cultivars. Plants were grown in controlled greenhouse, and 2D images of roots acquired, using a high-resolution flatbed scanner fitted with a...
