Computed tomography scanning can monitor the effects of soil medium on root system development: an example of salt stress in corn

Seeds and young seedlings often encounter high soluble salt levels in the upmost soil layers, impeding vigorous growth by affecting root establishment. Computed tomography (CT) scanning used at low X-ray doses can help study root development in such conditions non-destructively, because plants are a...
