It is an honor to be recognized in such a respected publication. The article delves into the long-neglected field of root science, revealing how modern technology sheds light on this crucial part of plant biology. It emphasizes that while roots form at least half of a plant’s biomass, they have historically received far less research focus compared to above-ground parts.

With minirhizotrons, researchers can observe and study root growth in real time without disturbing the soil. This is transforming our understanding of plant biology and enhances agricultural practices by allowing a closer look at how roots contribute to plant health and resilience over time.
