A high-throughput plant culture system for root visualization

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-throughput plant cultivation system with visualized root system, comprising: a visual cultivation box; at least two groups of water storage units, two adjacent groups of water storage units are connected through a first circulation pipeline, and each group of water storage units includes A plurality of water storage tanks, each of which is arranged with a plurality of vertically stacked visual culture boxes; multiple water storage tanks in each group of water storage units are connected to each other through the second circulation pipeline; the water inlet of each drainage pipeline One end corresponds to the water storage tank; the valve group is arranged on the second circulation pipeline; the controller communicates with the valve group; the invention can realize the soil cultivation of a large number of plants in a small space and obtain the root growth status of each plant, Realize the cyclic supply of water and nutrients, keep the root soil growth environment in each visual culture box consistent, and observe the difference in the growth form of the plant root system by visual comparison. Improve the accuracy of plant root observation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of botany, and more specifically relates to a high-throughput plant cultivation system for root system visualization. Background technique [0002] Through the observation of high-throughput plant cultivation, the measurement of the main agronomic traits of plants and the analysis of plant genomics data are the main trends of plant breeding; at the same time, the phenotypic data of plants are obtained, such as plant height, plant root system characteristics, Leaf color, etc., is of great significance to high-throughput plant cultivation; [0003] Since the root is the organ that fixes the plant and absorbs and transports water and nutrients from the soil, "comprehensively understand the development of the plant root system, the distribution of the root mass, the vitality of the root system to absorb water and nutrients in different growth stages, and the changes of the root system in different environments",...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional root observation box method, plastic tube soil column method, mesh bag method, three-dimensional coordinate container method and other experimental methods are based on soil cultivation, which have disadvantages such as inability to observe directly in situ, destructive sampling, heavy workload, and uneven cultivation conditions.

Compared with soil culture, the traditional aeroponics (aeroponics) and hydroponics methods have slightly different root growth patterns, which affect the accuracy of root phenotype observation and simulation.

[0005] At present, the in-situ observation and observation equipment of high-throughput root system of plants are either based on the soil cultivation method, which cannot be intuitively and comprehensively measured, or based on the simple hydroponic method, the spatial distribution of the root system is limited, and the simulation and observation results are inaccurate.

Moreover, the above-mentioned equipment generally lacks the ability to regulate the root growth environment, and lacks the comparative observation function
