摘要

    背景: 根是植物的關(guān)鍵器官，要實(shí)現(xiàn)產(chǎn)量穩(wěn)定，有效利用來自土壤資源至關(guān)重要。但作物基因型之間的根性狀表型變異多數(shù)還未知，田間根系發(fā)育篩查昂貴且耗力。因此，函待開發(fā)在田間進(jìn)行全生長(zhǎng)植物根系性狀、特別是位于土壤深層的根系研究的新方法。

    結(jié)果: 研究人員開發(fā)了一種新型表型設(shè)施(RadiMax)用于在半田間條件下研究根系生長(zhǎng)以及土壤資源獲取。設(shè)施包括4個(gè)單元，每個(gè)單元面積為400m²，分別安裝有150根微根管，允許對(duì)0.4 m–1.8 m或 0.7 m–2.8 m土壤深度間隔的根進(jìn)行觀察。根系觀測(cè)通過多光譜微根光成像系統(tǒng)實(shí)現(xiàn)。植物生長(zhǎng)行與水分梯度垂直，設(shè)施安裝有多深度亞灌溉系統(tǒng)以及移動(dòng)雨棚。水梯度可實(shí)現(xiàn)將根觀測(cè)與冠層脅迫反應(yīng)進(jìn)展相關(guān)聯(lián)。

Construction of a large-scale semi-feld facility to study genotypic diferences in deep root growth and resources acquisition

Abstract 

    Background: Roots are vital organs for plants, and the efective use of resources from the soil is important for yield stability. However, phenotypic variation in root traits among crop genotypes is mostly unknown and feld screening of root development is costly and labour demanding. As a consequence, new methods are needed to investigate root traits of fully grown crops under feld conditions, particularly roots in the deeper soil horizons.

    Results: We developed a new phenotyping facility (RadiMax) for the study of root growth and soil resource acquisi tion under semi-feld conditions. The facility consists of 4 units each covering 400 m2 and containing 150 minirhizo trons, allowing root observation in the 0.4 m–1.8 m or 0.7 m–2.8 m soil depth interval. Roots are observed through minirhizotrons using a multispectral imaging system. Plants are grown in rows perpendicular to a water stress gradi ent created by a multi-depth sub-irrigation system and movable rainout shelters. The water stress gradient allows for a direct link between root observations and the development of stress response in the canopy.

    Conclusion: To test the concept and technical features, selected spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) c*rs were grown in the system for two seasons. The system enabled genotypic diferences for deep root growth to be observed, and clear aboveground physiological response was also visible along the water stress gradient. Although further technical development and feld validation are ongoing, the semi-feld facility concept ofers novel possibilities for characterising genotypic diferences in the efective use of soil resources in deeper soil layers.
