Temporal phenotypic variation of spinach root traits and its relation to shoot performance

Abstract The root system is important for the growth and development of spinach. To reveal the temporal variability of the spinach root system, root traits of 40 spinach accessions were measured at three imaging times (20, 30, and 43 days after transplanting) in this study using a non-destructive an...
