Image-Based Phenotyping of the Mature Arabidopsis Shoot System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The image-based phenotyping of mature plants faces several challenges from the image acquisition to the determination of quantitative characteristics describing their appearance. In this work a framework to extract geometrical and topological traits of 2D images of mature Arabidopsis thaliana is proposed. The phenotyping pipeline recovers the realistic branching architecture of dried and flattened plants in two steps. In the first step, a tracing approach is used for the extraction of centerline segments of the plant. In the second step, a hierarchical reconstruction is done to group the segments according to continuity principles. This paper covers an overview of the relevant processing steps along the proposed pipeline and provides an insight into the image acquisition as well as into the most relevant results from the evaluation process.

Intensive field phenotyping of maize (Zea mays L.) root crowns identifies phenes and phene integration associated with plant growth and nitrogen acquisition
Root architecture is an important regulator of nitrogen (N) acquisition. Existing methods to phenotype the root architecture of cereal crops are generally limited to seedlings or to the outer roots of mature root crowns. The functional integration of root phenes is poorly understood. In this study, intensive phenotyping of mature root crowns of maize was conducted to discover phenes and phene m...

Phytochelatins (PCs) are peptides that function in heavy-metal chelation and detoxification in plants and fungi. A recent study showed that PCs have the ability to undergo long-distance transport in a root-to-shoot direction in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). To determine whether long-distance transport of PCs can occur in the opposite direction, from shoots to roots, the wheat (...

Arabidopsis thaliana is a suitable model plant for genetic and molecular biology studies in higher plants. However, its hydroponic culture for biochemical and physiological studies is a challenge due to small size, capillary roots and little biomass at maturity. Several cultural systems have been suggested for Arabidopsis thaliana hydroponic culture, each having special advantages and disadvant...
متن کاملNatural Genetic Variation for Growth and Development Revealed by High-Throughput Phenotyping in Arabidopsis thaliana
Leaf growth and development determines a plant's capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. These morphological traits are the integration of genetic and environmental factors through time. Yet fine dissection of the developmental genetic basis of leaf expansion throughout a growing season is difficult, due to the complexity of the trait and the need for real time measurement. In this stu...
متن کاملDeep machine learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping
In plant phenotyping, it has become important to be able to measure many features on large image sets in order to aid genetic discovery. The size of the datasets, now often captured robotically, often precludes manual inspection, hence the motivation for finding a fully automated approach. Deep learning is an emerging field that promises unparalleled results on many data analysis problems. Buil...
