Introduction of measurement services of root physiological characteristics

Root morphological traits are important for maximizing water and mineral uptake. As plants growing in the natural environment are subject to a variety of factors, plant roots often modify their nutrient acquisition capacity by adapting their morphological and/or physiological characteristics to meet changes in shoot nutrient requirements in response to environmental stresses. Drought is one of the most common factors that threaten healthy plant growth and development. Understanding the physiological traits of roots associated with drought tolerance is important for further understanding the drought tolerance mechanisms of the whole plant.
