Hyperspectral image analysis techniques for the detection and classification of the early onset of plant disease and stress (2017)
Journal Article
Lowe, A., Harrison, N., & French, A. P. (2017). Hyperspectral image analysis techniques for the detection and classification of the early onset of plant disease and stress. Plant Methods, 13, Article 80. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0233-z

This review explores how imaging techniques are being developed with a focus on deployment for crop monitoring methods. Imaging applications are discussed in relation to both field and glasshouse-based plants, and techniques are sectioned into ‘healt...

Volume Segmentation and Analysis of Biological Materials Using SuRVoS (Super-region Volume Segmentation) Workbench (2017)
Journal Article
Darrow, M. C., Luengo, I., Basham, M., Spink, M. C., Irvine, S., French, A. P., …Duke, E. M. (2017). Volume Segmentation and Analysis of Biological Materials Using SuRVoS (Super-region Volume Segmentation) Workbench. Journal of Visualized Experiments, Article e56162. https://doi.org/10.3791/56162

Segmentation is the process of isolating specific regions or objects within an imaged volume, so that further study can be undertaken on these areas of interest. When considering the analysis of complex biological systems, the segmentation of three-d...

The Microphenotron: a robotic miniaturized plant phenotyping platform with diverse applications in chemical biology (2017)
Journal Article
Burrell, T., Fozard, S., Holroyd, G. H., French, A. P., Pound, M. P., Bigley, C. J., …Forde, B. G. (2017). The Microphenotron: a robotic miniaturized plant phenotyping platform with diverse applications in chemical biology. Plant Methods, 13(1), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0158-6

Background Chemical genetics provides a powerful alternative to conventional genetics for understanding gene function. However, its application to plants has been limited by the lack of a technology that allows detailed phenotyping of whole-seedling...

SuRVoS: Super-Region Volume Segmentation workbench (2017)
Journal Article
Luengo, I., Darrow, M. C., Spink, M. C., Sun, Y., Dai, W., He, C. Y., …French, A. P. (2017). SuRVoS: Super-Region Volume Segmentation workbench. Journal of Structural Biology, 198(1), 43-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsb.2017.02.007

Segmentation of biological volumes is a crucial step needed to fully analyse their scientific content. Not having access to convenient tools with which to segment or annotate the data means many biological volumes remain under-utilised. Automatic seg...
