Phenotyping for deeper rooting under moisture-deficit stress. (A) Direct sowing through open mesh wire basket in controlled tank; (B) Plants grown at seedling stage; (C) Plant response in moisture-deficit condition; (D) Dismantling of the tank and use of high-pressure water spray to remove the soil; (E) Root distribution in soil; (F) Extraction of roots along with basket; (G) Observation of root length and root angle distribution affected by the stress.
