A Deep Learning Method for Fully Automatic Stomatal Morphometry and Maximal Conductance Estimation (2021)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J. A., Mcausland, L., Robles-Zazueta, C. A., Murchie, E. H., & Burgess, A. J. (2021). A Deep Learning Method for Fully Automatic Stomatal Morphometry and Maximal Conductance Estimation. Frontiers in Plant Science, 12, Article 780180. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2021.780180

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...

Prospects to improve the nutritional quality of crops (2021)
Journal Article
Scharff, L. B., Saltenis, V. L., Jensen, P. E., Baekelandt, A., Burgess, A. J., Burow, M., …Pribil, M. (2022). Prospects to improve the nutritional quality of crops. Food and Energy Security, 11(1), Article e327. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.327

A growing world population as well as the need to enhance sustainability and health create challenges for crop breeding. To address these challenges, not only quantitative but also qualitative improvements are needed, especially regarding the macro-...

The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy (2021)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Durand, M., Retkute, R., Gibbs, J. A., Robson, T. M., & Murchie, E. H. (2021). The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy. Plant, Cell and Environment, 44(11), 3524-3537. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14168

Under field conditions, plants are subject to wind-induced movement which creates fluctuations of light intensity and spectral quality reaching the leaves, defined here as windflecks. Within this study, irradiance within two contrasting wheat (Tritic... Read More about The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy.
