Morphology Functionality
Shift in how we look at roots
Kinetics of water uptake
2800 “small” PVC / 1600
“large” PVC
Limitations / Challenges:
• Capacity/automation (load cells)
• 3-D in-situ
Strengths:
• Water use efficiency
• Water extraction at key times
3. Variation for water use efficiency
• Huge genetic variation
• Variants used in breeding
