Non-destructive real-time monitoring of underground root development with distributed fiber optic sensing

Abstract Crop genetic engineering for better root systems can offer practical solutions for food security and carbon sequestration; however, soil layers prevent the direct visualization of plant roots, thus posing a challenge to effective phenotyping. Here, we demonstrate an original device with a d...
