Biomassbased lateral root morphological parameter models for rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Lateral roots, including adventitious roots, are the main component of rape- seed roots with support, absorb, and synthesis functions and their morpho- logical parameters directly affecting the plant's aboveground growth and yield. Root biomass, as a material base for lateral root growth, can be used as a link between plant phenotypes and their physiological processes, as well as to en- hance root 3D growth model mechanisms and accuracy. To quantify the rela- tionships between lateral root...
