How can we use biometric data to build better human-machine interfaces?
Complex interactions between roots and soil provide the nutrients and physical support required for robust plant growth. Yet, visualizing the root-soil interface is challenged by soil’s opaque scattering characteristics. In this paper, we describe methods for using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide non-destructive 3D and cross-sectional root imaging not available with traditional bright field microscopy. OCT is regularly used for bioimaging, especially in ophthalmology where it can detect retinal abnormalities. Prior use of OCT in plant biology has focused on surface defects of above ground tissues, predominantly in food crops. Our results show OCT is also viable for detailed, in situ study of living plant roots.
