A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes

Abstract: The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with high throughput. This paper describes the construction of a low-cost, high-resolution root phenotyping platform, requiring no sophisticated equipment and adaptable to most laboratory and glasshouse environments, and its application to quantify environmental and tem… Show more

“…The sources of variation in static root traits (i.e. root traits measured on the last day of the experiment) were determined using a mixed effects model as described by Adu et al (2014). The run, scanner and genotype were considered as random factors using Supplemental equation S2.…”

“…1A). Root growth was routinely monitored and captured with ArchiScan which has been installed on a computer directory on which there is sufficient space to save images (Adu et al 2014(Adu et al , 2015, http:// www.archiroot.org.uk). ArchiScan is fully parameterizable software which allows the management of several scanners for scheduled remote root growth acquisitions.…”
