Plots of volumetric strain versus deviatoric strain in the vicinity of the seminal roots R3 (green) and R4 (orange) on Day 2 and Day 7. Blue dots (respectively, red dots) refer to points located in the immediate vicinity (respectively, further neighbourhood) of the roots. For reference, the primary root (R1) is highlighted in purple.
