Sumario:Abstract Plants roots are severely injured during the process of withstanding transient tensile, and the injured roots can self-repair. We investigated the change law of the growth characteristics and tensile strength on straight roots withstand transient tensile injured after self-repair. The survival rate of two kinds of injured plants roots was between 60 and 89%. The test roots after self-repaired, the tensile strength reduction rate of Hippophae rhamnoides L. roots was greater than that of Salix psammophila roots. The tensile force was positively related to the power function of root diameter, the tensile strength was negatively related to the root diameter in a power function. The tensile strength of straight roots under small injured force showed an increasing trend, but the straight roots under the large injured force showed the opposite result. The survival rate of rough roots was greater than that of fine roots. The large injured force was not conducive to the repair and force again of the straight roots of two kinds of plants. The reduction rate of tensile strength after repaired with small force was less than that of large force. The self-repair ability of fine roots was weaker than that of rough roots.
