High-throughput and automatic structural and developmental root phenotyping on Arabidopsis seedlings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-throughput phenotyping is crucial for the genetic and molecular understanding of adaptive root system development. In recent years, imaging automata have been developed to acquire the root system architecture of many genotypes grown in Petri dishes to explore the Genetic x Environment (GxE) interaction. There is now an increasing interest in understanding the dynamics of the adaptive responses, such as the organ apparition or the growth rate. However, due to the increasing complexity of root architectures in development, the accurate description of the topology, geometry, and dynamics of a growing root system remains a challenge.

Results

We designed a high-throughput phenotyping method, combining an imaging device and an automatic analysis pipeline based on r
