Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cultivation equipment technology, and in particular relates to a device for observing and measuring the root development of rice seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Breeding observation has always been a crucial step before seed planting, enabling the precise selection and cultivation of new varieties with superior traits, thereby improving crop yield and quality. For example, high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms can monitor crop growth and the surrounding environment around the clock, helping breeders obtain the necessary data faster and more accurately, thus improving breeding efficiency. This is particularly important in rice cultivation, which is why numerous rice seed breeding observation devices have emerged on the market.

[0003] However, the fixation structure of existing seed culture trays on the market is not perfect. During the seed culture process, staff need to observe the root development of seeds in each group of culture troughs. Due to the inconvenience of fixation, staff need to spend a lot of time putting the observed seeds back into the culture trays, which reduces the efficiency of the staff. Moreover, it can affect, damage, or even break the fragile young roots. Furthermore, it is impossible to ensure that the roots retain moisture after removal, which seriously affects the accuracy of root development observation and data measurement.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a device for observing and measuring rice seed root development that can solve the above problems is one of the technical problems that urgently need to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for observing the root development of rice seeds includes a placement frame, which consists of two symmetrically arranged borders and two placement columns arranged on the sides of the two borders. It also includes several breeding boards detachably connected between the two placement columns, and each breeding board is provided with several breeding grooves for seed development.

[0007] Each of the breeding plates includes a snap-fit ​​plate and a baffle. The two ends of the snap-fit ​​plate are snapped onto a corresponding placement column, and the baffle is detachably connected to one side of the baffle. The breeding trough is disposed on the snap-fit ​​plate and is located close to the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, each of the snap-fit ​​plates has a U-shaped snap-fit ​​groove at both ends, and the snap-fit ​​groove is adapted to the placement column; each of the snap-fit ​​plates has a plurality of L-shaped claws on the side adjacent to the baffle for snap-fit ​​connection with the baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle is provided with a plurality of mounting slots, and each mounting slot is correspondingly engaged with each of the L-shaped claws.

[0010] Preferably, each of the mounting slots has a bottom opening, which facilitates connection with the snap-fit ​​plate and ensures that it will not fall off.

[0011] Preferably, the breeding trough is configured as a semi-enclosed structure, with the side connected to the baffle and the top both being open structures; the inner wall diameter of the breeding trough decreases sequentially from top to bottom in an arc shape, and the lower end of the breeding trough is configured as an opening for the seed roots to extend and develop.

[0012] Preferably, the placement frame, placement column, and breeding board are all black, opaque, frosted, and non-reflective plastic boards.

[0013] Meanwhile, this utility model also provides a rice seed root development measuring device for measuring the growth of seed roots on the breeding plate in the above-mentioned rice seed root development observation device. The upper end of the measuring device is provided with a locking post for connecting the locking post with the corresponding locking groove, thereby locking the breeding plate into the measuring device.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the measuring device is provided with scale lines for observing the growth of seed roots;

[0015] The scale lines include length scale lines and angle scale lines.

[0016] Preferably, the measuring device is also a black, opaque, frosted, and non-reflective plastic plate.

[0017] Preferably, the measuring device is provided with side walls on all four sides, forming a trough shape, for adding a small amount of water during measurement, so that the seeds can be photographed and counted as much as possible without damaging the root activity due to lack of water. Beneficial effects

[0018] The rice seed root development observation device provided by this utility model involves placing seeds in each breeding trough of a breeding plate and then placing them in a container containing a root development solution. This observation device can float on the water surface, ensuring that the seeds and roots do not leave the solution during the process of water evaporation and subsequent water level drop. This prevents the roots from drying out due to lack of moisture, which would be detrimental to subsequent root development observation and data measurement. Furthermore, the breeding plate design of this utility model not only better fixes the seeds but also facilitates the repositioning of individual seeds during experiments without affecting, damaging, or breaking the fragile young roots. Moreover, the vertical surface of the baffle can limit the outward growth angle of the lateral roots on one side, providing a plane for subsequent root angle measurements, thereby allowing for the measurement of the angles of lateral roots on adjacent sides.
