A Deep Learning Method for Fully Automatic Stomatal Morphometry and Maximal Conductance Estimation (2021)
Journal Article

Stomata are integral to plant performance, enabling the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the plant. The anatomy of stomata influences conductance properties with the maximal conductance rate, gsmax, calculated from density and size. Howev...

High throughput procedure utilising chlorophyll fluorescence imaging to phenotype dynamic photosynthesis and photoprotection in leaves under controlled gaseous conditions (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Author(s). Background: As yields of major crops such as wheat (T. aestivum) have begun to plateau in recent years, there is growing pressure to efficiently phenotype large populations for traits associated with genetic advancement in yield...

A canopy conundrum: can wind-induced movement help to increase crop productivity by relieving photosynthetic limitations? (2019)
Journal Article

Wind-induced movement is a ubiquitous occurrence for all plants grown in natural or agricultural settings and in the context of high, damaging wind speeds it has been well studied. However, the impact of lower wind speeds (that do not cause any damag...

Image-based 3D canopy reconstruction to determine potential productivity in complex multi-species crop systems (2017)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Intercropping systems contain two or more species simultaneously in close proximity. Due to contrasting features of the component crops, quantification of the light environment and photosynthetic productivity is extremely difficu...

The 4-Dimensional Plant: Effects of Wind-Induced Canopy Movement on Light Fluctuations and Photosynthesis (2016)
Journal Article

Physical perturbation of a plant canopy brought about by wind is a ubiquitous phenomenon and yet its biological importance has often been overlooked. This is partly due to the complexity of the issue at hand: wind-induced movement (or mechanical exci...

Approaches to three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoot topology and geometry (2016)
Journal Article

There are currently 805 million people classified as chronically undernourished, and yet the World’s population is still increasing. At the same time, global warming is causing more frequent and severe flooding and drought, thus destroying crops and...

Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping (2016)
Working Paper

Deep learning is an emerging field that promises unparalleled results on many data analysis problems. We show the success offered by such techniques when applied to the challenging problem of image-based plant phenotyping, and demonstrate state-of-th... Read More about Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping.

A patch-based approach to 3D plant shoot phenotyping (2016)
Journal Article

The emerging discipline of plant phenomics aims to measure key plant characteristics, or traits, though as yet the set of plant traits that should be measured by automated systems is not well defined. Methods capable of recovering generic representat... Read More about A patch-based approach to 3D plant shoot phenotyping.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system (2015)
Journal Article

The reconstruction of 3D models of plant shoots is a challenging problem central to the emerging discipline of plant phenomics – the quantitative measurement of plant structure and function. Current approaches are, however, often limited by the use o... Read More about Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system.

Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms (2015)
Journal Article

Despite more than a century of research, some key aspects of habitat preference and ecology of the earliest angiosperms remain poorly constrained. Proposed growth ecology has varied from opportunistic weedy species growing in full sun to slow-growing...
