Closing the phenotyping gap: non-invasive electromagnetic induction enables high-throughput screening of crop root function in the field

Crop root systems play a critical role in water uptake and yield improvement under drought. However, a lack of methods to measure root system function at scale, particularly in the field, poses significant challenges to explore them in crop improvement programs. To address this bottleneck, we introduce a novel approach to directly screen water uptake and root activity in the field through…
