Innovative multi-scale approach to study the phenotypic variation of seedling leaves in four weedy Amaranthus species.

ABSTRACT: Plant phenotyping on morpho-anatomical traits through image analysis, from microscope images to large-scale acquisitions through remote sensing, represents a low-invasive tool providing insight into physiological and structural trait variation, as well as plant-environment interactions. High phenotype diversity in the genus Amaranthus includes annual weed species with high invasiveness and impact on important summer crops, and nutritive grain or vegetable crops. Identification of morpho-anatomical leaf characters at very young stages across weedy amaranths could be useful for better understanding their performance in agroecosystems. We used an innovative multi-scale approach with phenotype analyses of about 20 single-leaf morphometric traits of four Amaranthus species through processing co
