A method of modifying the growth of plant roots is provided in which the roots are grown in proximity to a membrane from which water is released during the growth of the roots, wherein the membrane is a hydrophobic porous membrane or a hydrophilic non-porous membrane. The method may also be used to collect materials exuded from plant roots by growing the plant roots in a growing medium that is surrounded by a membrane such that moisture is released into the growing medium from the membrane whilst materials exuded from the plant roots are retained within the growing medium by the membrane, wherein the membrane is a hydrophobic porous membrane or a hydrophilic non-porous membrane.
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de modifier la croissance des racines de végétaux. En l'occurrence, on fait pousser les racines au voisinage d'une membrane dégageant de l'eau pendant la croissance des racines, laquelle membrane est une membrane poreuse hydrophobe ou une membrane non poreuse hydrophile. Le procédé convient également au recueil de matières exsudées par les racines de végétaux. A cet effet, on fait pousser les racines du végétal dans un milieu de culture qui est entouré d'une membrane telle que la membrane libère dans le milieu de culture de l'eau alors que les matériaux exsudés par les racines du végétal sont retenus dans le milieu de culture par la membrane, auquel cas la membrane est une membrane poreuse hydrophobe ou une membrane non poreuse hydrophile.
