Abstract
Context: Root hydraulic conductivity is a limiting factor along the water pathways between the soil and the leaf, and root radial conductivity is itself defined by cell-scale hydraulic properties and anatomical features. However, quantifying the influence of anatomical features on the radial conductivity remains challenging due to complex time-consuming experimental procedures. This experimental restriction creates a knowledge gap in the quantitative assessment of individual component of the anatomy. Goal: We want to better understand the functional properties of root anatomy. Therefore: We developed a computational tool, the Generator of Root ANAtomy in R (GRANAR) that can be used to rapidly generate digital versions of contrasted monocotyledon root anatomical networks
