This study links root anatomical gradients and cultivar differences to variations in hydraulic properties in winter wheat using imaging and modeling.

The paper introduces RAT, a low-cost root anatomical imaging system, and shows reduced vascular complexity in wheat crown roots from basal to distal regions.

This study examines how decreasing phosphorus availability affects root system architecture and conductance in Zea mays, showing reduced conductance with lower phosphorus levels.

This study examines how 100 years of wheat breeding affected root hydraulic traits, finding a decline in root number and hydraulic conductance while root diameter remained stable.

This paper reviews empirical studies on root hydraulic properties across scales, identifies factors influencing their variability, and highlights the importance of root system age and measurement conditions.
