Field Phenotyping for the Future (2018)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Jackson, R. J., Bentley, A. R., Ober, E., & Wells, D. M. (in press). Field Phenotyping for the Future. Annual Plant Reviews Online, https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119312994.apr0651

Global agricultural production has to double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing population and the challenges of a changing climate. Plant phenomics (the characterization of the full set of phenotypes of a given species) has been proposed a... Read More about Field Phenotyping for the Future.

Plant phenotyping: an active vision cell for three-dimensional plant shoot reconstruction (2018)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M., French, A. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E., & Pridmore, T. (2018). Plant phenotyping: an active vision cell for three-dimensional plant shoot reconstruction. Plant Physiology, 178(2), 524-534. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.18.00664

© 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists. All rights reserved. Three-dimensional (3D) computer-generated models of plants are urgently needed to support both phenotyping and simulation-based studies such as photosynthesis modeling. However, the co...

Uncovering the hidden half of plants using new advances in root phenotyping (2018)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Pound, M. P., Bennett, M. J., & Wells, D. M. (2019). Uncovering the hidden half of plants using new advances in root phenotyping. Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 55, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copbio.2018.06.002

© 2018 The Authors Major increases in crop yield are required to keep pace with population growth and climate change. Improvements to the architecture of crop roots promise to deliver increases in water and nutrient use efficiency but profiling the r...

A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate (2018)
Journal Article
Giehl, R. F. H., Bhosale, R., Giri, J., Pandey, B. K., Giehl, R. F., Hartmann, A., …Swarup, R. (2018). A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate. Nature Communications, 9(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-03851-3

Phosphate (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth. Roots employ adaptive mechanisms to forage for P in soil. Root hair elongation is particularly important since P is immobile. Here we report that auxin plays a critical role promoting root... Read More about A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate.

Root gravitropism: quantification, challenges, and solutions (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. Better understanding of root traits such as root angle and root gravitropism will be crucial for development of crops with improved resource use efficiency. This chapter describes a high-throughput, autom... Read More about Root gravitropism: quantification, challenges, and solutions.
