Automatic root measurement: a lightweight method for measuring pea root length.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the intensification of global climate change, extreme weather events have become increasingly frequent, severely impacting the growth cycles and yield stability of crops. Against this backdrop, cultivating new crop varieties with high stress resistance has become a core task for achieving sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security. Root length, as a critical phenotypic trait that reflects a plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, is closely related to the crop's capacity to withstand adversities, such as drought, high temperatures and salinisation. However, root length measurement technology remains a significant bottleneck in plant science research. Traditional manual methods are inefficient and prone to human-induced variability (e.g. subjective sta
