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.

C., Laplaze, L., Halliday, K. J., Ljung, K., Murphy, A. S., Hall, A. J., …Bennett, M. J. (2015). The circadian clock rephases during lateral root organ initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Nature Communications, 6, Article 7641. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms8641

The endogenous circadian clock enables organisms to adapt their growth and development to environmental changes. Here we describe how the circadian clock is employed to coordinate responses to the key signal auxin during lateral root (LR) emergence....

Blancaflor (Ed.), Plant Gravitropism; Methods and Protocols (81-89). Springer New York. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-2697-8_8

High-resolution imaging of cytoskeletal structures paves the way for standardized methods to quantify cytoskeletal organization. Here we provide a detailed description of the analysis performed to determine the microtubule patterns in gravistimulated...

Multi-omics analysis identifies genes mediating the extension of cell walls in the Arabidopsis thaliana root elongation zone (2015)
Journal Article
Wilson, M. H., Holman, T. J., Sørensen, I., Cancho-Sanchez, E., Wells, D. M., Swarup, R., Knox, J. P., Willats, W. G., Ubeda-Tomás, S., Holdsworth, M. J., Bennett, M. J., Vissenberg, K., & Hodgman, T. C. (2015). Multi-omics analysis identifies genes mediating the extension of cell walls in the Arabidopsis thaliana root elongation zone. Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 3(FEB), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00010

Plant cell wall composition is important for regulating growth rates, especially in roots. However, neither analyses of cell wall composition nor transcriptomes on their own can comprehensively reveal which genes and processes are mediating growth an...

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., Le Gouis, J., Griffiths, S., Bennett, M. J., King, 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.
