Three-dimensional in vivo analysis of water uptake and translocation in maize roots by fast neutron tomography

Abstract Root water uptake is an essential process for terrestrial plants that strongly affects the spatiotemporal distribution of water in vegetated soil. Fast neutron tomography is a recently established non-invasive imaging technique capable to capture the 3D architecture of root systems in situ...
