Description We report a microfluidic platform for the hydroponic growth of Arabidopsis plants with
high-resolution visualization of root development and root-pathogen interactions. The platform comprises a set of parallel micro-channels with individual input/output ports where 1-day old germinated seedlings are initially placed. Under optimum conditions, a root system grows in each microchannel and its images are recorded over a 198-h period. Different concentrations of plant growth media show different root growth characteristics. Later, the developed roots are inoculated with two plant pathogens (nematodes and zoospores) and their physicochemical interactions with
the live root systems are observed.
