Abstract: Provided is a system for detection and analysis of a fibrous root system architecture of a plant, including a plant pot having at least one slit area extending through a cross section in an axial direction, at least one laser measuring unit, and a data analyzing unit, where each laser measuring unit has a laser transmitter and a receiver disposed corresponding to the slit area in such a manner that a laser beam emitted from the laser transmitter to the receiver goes across the cross section of the plant pot; measurement on all roots in the slit area is realized by a rotating stage, and the laser measuring unit swinging horizontally around the laser transmitter within a predetermined angle range; and the data analyzing unit is configured to perform statistical analysis on the roots of a plant to be measured according to laser measuring results.
