Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system (2015)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E. H., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. P. (2015). Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system

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.

High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field (2015)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Pound, M. P., Foulkes, J., Preston, S. P., Jensen, O. E., …Murchie, E. H. (2015). High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field. Plant Physiology, 169(2), 1192-1204. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.00722

Photoinhibition reduces photosynthetic productivity; however, it is difficult to quantify accurately in complex canopies partly because of a lack of high-resolution structural data on plant canopy architecture, which determines complex fluctuations o...

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat (2015)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Wingen, L. U., Griffiths, M., Pound, M. P., Gaju, O., Foulkes, M. J., …Wells, D. M. (2015). Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat. Journal of Experimental Botany, 66(8), 2283-2292. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv006

Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen c... Read More about Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.

Quantification of Fluorescent Reporters in Plant Cells (2014)

© Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015. Fluorescent reporters are powerful tools for plant research. Many studies require accurate determination of fluorescence intensity and localization. Here, we describe protocols for the quantification o... Read More about Quantification of Fluorescent Reporters in Plant Cells.

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.

RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures (2013)
Journal Article
