High-throughput feature counting and measurement of roots
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY The original RootTrace tool has proved successful in measuring primary root lengths across time series image data. Biologists have shown interest in using the tool to address further problems, namely counting lateral roots to use as parameters in screening studies, and measuring highly curved roots. To address this, the software has been extended to count emerged lateral roots, and the tracking model extended so that strongly curved and agravitropic roots can be now be recovered. Here, we describe the novel image analysis algorithms and user interface implemented within the RootTrace framework to handle such situations and evaluate the results. AVAILABILITY The software is open source and available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/roottrace.

A High-Throughput Automated Technique for Counting Females of Heterodera glycines using a Fluorescence-Based Imaging System.
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is the most damaging pathogen of soybean. Methods to phenotype soybean varieties for resistance to SCN are currently very laborious and time consuming. Streamlining a portion of this phenotyping process could increase productivity and accuracy. Here we report an automated method to count SCN females using a fluorescence-based imaging system ...

متن کاملOptimization of measurement counting time in Gamma-ray spectrometry of soil samples
The method of optimal measurement counting time in Gamma spectrometry for soil samples was studied. Gamma spectrometry was done based on minimum detectable activity using the HPGe- p type with efficiency of 30% and FWHM 1.7keV (for 1.33 MeV 60Co). The samples were IAEA-RG Th-1, IAEA-RGU-1 and IAEA-RGK-1 prepared in bottles. The measurements were done for 12 different counting times from 5 min t...
متن کاملMeasurement of radium micro-precipitates using alpha spectrometry and total alpha counting methods
Background: This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226Ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. In the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 Ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. Ma...
متن کاملNootropic Medicinal Plants; Evaluating Potent Formulation By Novelestic High throughput Pharmacological Screening (HTPS) Method
The principle of this method was to screen the pharmacological activity of six prepared polyphyto formulations by using high throughput screening method for their nootropic action. The study was performed in three stages using one, two and three animals, respectively in a group. Test formulations were given p.o daily at the dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight. The test formulations were compar...
