In this episode, Ivan and Liz talk with José Dinneny, a staff member at the Carnegie Institute for Sciences in Palo Alto, CA. We discuss a recent paper that describes a novel system for imaging root growth that balances the need for visualization with the need for more physiological growth conditions. The paper is Rellan-Alvarez et al., “GLO-roots: an imaging platform enabling multidimensional characterization of soil-grown root systems”, published in 2015.
