Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer-assisted processing pipeline

Abstract Background There are numerous systems and techniques to measure the growth of plant roots. However, phenotyping large numbers of plant roots for breeding and genetic analyses remains challenging. One major difficulty is to achieve high throughput and resolution at a reasonable cost per plan...
