Abstract

The dynamics of root formation are difficult to observe directly over time without disturbing the rooting environment. A novel system for a non-destructive, non-invasive root analysis (RootViz FS, Phenotype Screening Corp.) was evaluated for its ability to analyze root formation from cuttings over a 32 day period in three poplar genotypes (DN70, P. Deltoides x P. Nigra; NC14104, P. Deltoides x P. Maximowizcii; NM6, P. Nigra x P. Maximowizcii.
