  abstract = {{E}merging constraints associated with climate change are posing an increasing threat to crop yields. {I}n the arid and semiarid regions of {A}frica, crop failure, due to extreme events such as drought, is predicted to cause major food security issues. {R}oot traits can improve crop resilience to drought and poor soil conditions by increasing the crop's ability to acquire water and soil nutrients. {H}owever, selection based on root traits in agronomically meaningful contexts poses practical challenges. {I}n fact, phenotyping represents a major bottleneck for root traits breeding, with trade-offs between precision and throughput. {I}n this chapter, we will describe advances in low- and high-throughput root observation and sampling methods that can be easily deployed to measure root traits in field conditions. {W}e will further describe a high-throughput root phenotyping pipeline that has recently been implemented to phenotype root architectural and anatomical traits in pearl millet grown in {W}est {A}frican {S}ahelian conditions. {T}hese new methods can facilitate the selection of next generation crops with improved root systems that are more adapted to future climates.},
