This paper reports an on-chip analytical method for studying physical mechanisms of plant root growth in soil environments. To quantitatively evaluate physical interaction between root and soil, we developed a silicon-based microchannel device integrated with force displacement sensor which mimics a barrier in soil. By using developed microsystem, we successfully characterized the driving forces of...
This paper presents a novel PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) device to analyze behaviors of plant-parasitic nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. For allowing the nematodes to swim in micro analyzed area, we developed a protocol of loading an agarose gel into microchannels by power-free pumping method. We experimentally confirmed that microchannel array 5 μm wide, which is narrower than the body width of the...
