A Simple Method for Quantitative Estimation of Rhizosphere pH along Root Axes through Visualization

A pH indicator agar gel is widely used in rhizosphere pH studies, but its use was mostly confined to visualization of pH changes. A few complex methods are available to measure pH in agar gels. We improved such methods to enable non-destructive quantification of pH dynamics along a root axis by usin...
