Leaf segmentation in plant phenotyping: a collation study (2015)
Journal Article
Scharr, H., Minervini, M., French, A. P., Klukas, C., Kramer, D. M., Liu, X., …Tsaftaris, S. A. (2016). Leaf segmentation in plant phenotyping: a collation study. Machine Vision and Applications, 27(4), 585-606. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00138-015-0737-3

Image-based plant phenotyping is a growing application area of computer vision in agriculture. A key task is the segmentation of all individual leaves in images. Here we focus on the most common rosette model plants, Arabidopsis and young tobacco. Al... Read More about Leaf segmentation in plant phenotyping: a collation study.

Automated recovery of 3D models of plant shoots from multiple colour images (2014)
Journal Article
Pound, M. P., French, A. P., Murchie, E. H., & Pridmore, T. P. (2014). Automated recovery of 3D models of plant shoots from multiple colour images. Plant Physiology, 166(4), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.248971

Increased adoption of the systems approach to biological research has focussed attention on the use of quantitative models of biological objects. This includes a need for realistic 3D representations of plant shoots for quantification and modelling....

Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex (2014)
Journal Article
Band, L. R., Wells, D. M., Fozard, J. A., Ghetiu, T., French, A. P., Pound, M. P., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex. Plant Cell, 26(3), 862-875. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.113.119495

Auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development. Within the root tip, auxin distribution plays a crucial role specifying developmental zones and coordinating tropic responses. Determining how the organ-scale auxin pattern is regulated at the... Read More about Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex.

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article
Dyson, R. J., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Band, L. R., Fernandes, A. N., French, A. P., Fozard, J. A., …Jensen, O. E. (2014). Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending. New Phytologist, 202(4), 1212-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.12764

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

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.

Developing digital records: Early experiences of record and replay (2006)
Journal Article
Crabtree, A., French, A., Greenhalgh, C., Benford, S., Cheverst, K., Fitton, D., …Graham, C. (2006). Developing digital records: Early experiences of record and replay. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 15(4), 281-319. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10606-006-9026-z

In this paper we consider the development of 'digital records' to support ethnographic study of interaction and collaboration in ubiquitous computing environments and articulate the core concept of 'record and replay' through two case studies. One fo... Read More about Developing digital records: Early experiences of record and replay.
