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...

Recovering Wind-induced Plant motion in Dense Field Environments via Deep Learning and Multiple Object Tracking (2019)
Journal Article

Understanding the relationships between local environmental conditions and plant structure and function is critical for both fundamental science and for improving the performance of crops in field settings. Wind-induced plant motion is important in m... Read More about Recovering Wind-induced Plant motion in Dense Field Environments via Deep Learning and Multiple Object Tracking.

Active Vision and Surface Reconstruction for 3D Plant Shoot Modelling (2019)
Journal Article

Plant phenotyping is the quantitative description of a plant’s physiological, biochemical and anatomical status which can be used in trait selection and helps to provide mechanisms to link underlying genetics with yield. Here, an active vision- based... Read More about Active Vision and Surface Reconstruction for 3D Plant Shoot Modelling.

Rice plants overexpressing OsEPF1 show reduced stomatal density and increased root cortical aerenchyma formation (2019)
Journal Article

Stomata are adjustable pores in the aerial epidermis of plants. The role of stomata is usually described in terms of the trade-off between CO2 uptake and water loss. Little consideration has been given to their interaction with below-ground developme...

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...
