Measuring Roots by Stefano Mancuso
Despite its obvious importance for the whole plant, until recently our knowledge of the root apparatus was very limited, mostly due to the inadequacy of the techniques available. Recent advances in the visualization and measurement of roots have resulted in significant progress in our understanding of root architecture, growth and behaviour.From the reviews:
“This book describes some remarkable methods, mostly of recent development, by which roots can be rendered more accessible, and measurable, than normally allowed by natureSplit into two sections covering lab and field applications, Measuring Roots: An Updated Approach describes a range of imaging and sensor techniques. … Examples of the kind of information that each technique can generate are presented in abundant images, many in colour. Anyone studying roots will find something interesting in this multi-author volume … .” (David Robinson, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 48 (3), 2012)
