Researchers Glyn Bengough and Nico Koebernick sampling a field experiment planted with barley that has different root hair properties: (i) parent wildtype, (ii) no root hairs, (iii) short root hairs, (iv) long root hairs and (v) a commercial variety with a very fibrous and hairy root system. Intact samples are being collected for XRay CT imaging so that the effect of root hairs on soil pore structure can be explored.
