Due in part to recent progress in root genetics and genomics, increasing attention is being
devoted to root system architecture (RSA) for the improvement of drought tolerance. The focus …

Over the last decade, investigations on root water uptake have evolved toward a deeper
integration of the soil and roots compartment properties, with the goal of improving our …

The plant root system traverses one of the most complex environments on earth. Understanding
how roots support plant life on land requires knowing how soil properties affect the …

We present in this paper a novel, semiautomated image-analysis software to streamline the
quantitative analysis of root growth and architecture of complex root systems. The software …

Flowering is a hot topic in Plant Biology and important progress has been made in Arabidopsis
thaliana toward unraveling the genetic networks involved. The increasing complexity and …

root systems. Plant Methods. 2013… Guillaume Lobet & Claire Périlleux … Guillaume Lobet …

10.7554/eLife.07597.001 Root systems develop different root types that individually sense
cues from their local environment and integrate this information with systemic signals. This …

Background and Aims Root architecture development determines the sites in soil where
roots provide input of carbon and take up water and solutes. However, root architecture is …

The number of image analysis tools supporting the extraction of architectural features of root
systems has increased in recent years. These tools offer a handy set of complementary …

… Data are from papers referenced on the plant-image-analysis.org database (C–G) and
from a survey sent to the corresponding authors of the papers presenting the tools (A,B,H). It …
