On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images (2014)
Journal Article

© CSIRO 2015. X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) allows nondestructive visualisation of plant root systems within their soil environment and thus offers an alternative to the commonly used destructive methodologies for the examination of plant root...

Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation (2014)
Journal Article

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water, minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root development in young seedlings. However, many other programs of postemb...

Plant roots use a patterning mechanism to position lateral root branches toward available water (2014)
Journal Article

The architecture of the branched root system of plants is a major determinant of vigor. Water availability is known to impact root physiology and growth; however, the spatial scale at which this stimulus influences root architecture is poorly underst...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article

The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8-12 months and life expectancy is ?5-6 years. O...
