RADIX: a deep learning framework that maps root barriers across species and reveals genetic and environmental contributions
Root anatomical barriers, including the suberized and lignified walls of the endodermis and exodermis, and cortical aerenchyma, regulate water and nutrient transport, gas exchange, and rhizosphere interaction. Their adaptive function places them as an important target for breeding environmentally resilient plant species. Quantifying these structures at high resolution is a manual bottleneck that…
