Time-Profiling Fluorescent Reporters in the Arabidopsis Root (2013)
Book Chapter
Larrieu, A. P., French, A. P., Pridmore, T. P., Bennett, M. J., & Wells, D. M. (2014). Time-Profiling Fluorescent Reporters in the Arabidopsis Root. In Plant chemical genomics : methods and protocols (11-17). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-62703-592-7_2

Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a useful nondestructive approach for the visualization of fluorescent reporters in planta. Samples are usually placed between a slide and a cover slip which, although suited to single time-point imaging, does not...

RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures (2013)
Journal Article
Pound, M. P., French, A. P., Atkinson, J. A., Wells, D. M., Bennett, M. J., & Pridmore, T. (2013). RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures. Plant Physiology, 162(4), 1802-1814. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.113.221531

We present a novel image analysis tool that allows the semiautomated quantification of complex root system architectures in a range of plant species grown and imaged in a variety of ways. The automatic component of RootNav takes a top-down approach,... Read More about RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures.

MicroFilament Analyzer, an image analysis tool for quantifying fibrillar orientation, reveals changes in microtubule organization during gravitropism (2013)
Journal Article
Jacques, E., Buytaert, J., Wells, D. M., Lewandowski, M., Bennett, M. J., Dirckx, J., Verbelen, J. P., & Vissenberg, K. (2013). MicroFilament Analyzer, an image analysis tool for quantifying fibrillar orientation, reveals changes in microtubule organization during gravitropism. Plant Journal, 74(6), 1045-1058. https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.12174

Image acquisition is an important step in the study of cytoskeleton organization. As visual interpretations and manual measurements of digital images are prone to errors and require a great amount of time, a freely available software package named Mi...

Biosensors for phytohormone quantification: challenges, solutions, and opportunities (2013)
Journal Article
Wells, D. M., Laplaze, L., Bennett, M. J., & Vernoux, T. (2013). Biosensors for phytohormone quantification: challenges, solutions, and opportunities. Trends in Plant Science, 18(5), 244-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2012.12.005

Fluorescent reporters are valuable tools for plant science research, particularly as sensors to monitor biological signals and developmental processes. Such biosensors are particularly useful to monitor the spatial and temporal distribution of small...

Root Gravitropism (2013)
Book Chapter
Swarup, R., Wells, D. M., & Bennett, M. J. (2013). Root Gravitropism. In A. Eshel, & T. Beeckman (Eds.), Roots: the Hidden Half (265-278). (4th). CRC Press

Plants adapt their development in response to environmental signals in order to optimize their chances of survival. These environmental cues include directional signals such as gravity and light. Plant organs adjust their position relative to such si... Read More about Root Gravitropism.
