Quantitative Measurements of Curvature Along the Growth Axis in Tropic Responses Using Free Software Environments.

Abstract

Tropic responses in plants have usually been studied by measuring changes in the deflection angle of the organ tip. However, the measurement of other geometric parameters, such as curvature along the entire length, may give us better understanding of tropic responses, particularly in shoots. Here, we describe methods for obtaining quantitative measurements of local curvature and other parameters based on digital images of bending Arabidopsis hypocotyls using the free software packages, ImageJ and R.

Plant phenotyping relevance

植物器官のデジタル画像から曲率などの形態形質を定量化する画像解析手法を、ImageJとRを用いて具体的に提示しており、表現型取得・抽出が研究の中心です。
