Griffiths M, Gautam B, Lebow C, Duncan K, Ding X, Handakumbura P, et al.
Sci Rep . 2025 Feb; 15(1):4532. PMID: 39920283
Phenotyping methods for seed morphology are mostly limited to two-dimensional imaging or manual measures. In this study, we present a novel seed phenotyping approach utilizing lab-based X-ray microscopy (XRM) to...

Ju Y, Liu A, Oestreich K, Wang T, Topp C, Ju T
Plant Methods . 2024 Aug; 20(1):132. PMID: 39187896
Background: The use of 3D imaging techniques, such as X-ray CT, in root phenotyping has become more widespread in recent years. However, due to the complexity of the root structure,...

Li M, Liu Z, Jiang N, Laws B, Tiskevich C, Moose S, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Jan; 14:1260005. PMID: 38288407
A central goal of biology is to understand how genetic variation produces phenotypic variation, which has been described as a genotype to phenotype (G to P) map. The plant form...

Griffiths M, Liu A, Gunn S, Mutan N, Morales E, Topp C
Front Plant Sci . 2023 Jul; 14:1145389. PMID: 37426970
Introduction: Roots have a central role in plant resource capture and are the interface between the plant and the soil that affect multiple ecosystem processes. Field pennycress ( L.) is...

Dowd T, Li M, Bagnall G, Johnston A, Topp C
Front Plant Sci . 2023 Jan; 13:1041404. PMID: 36589101
Current methods of root sampling typically only obtain small or incomplete sections of root systems and do not capture their true complexity. To facilitate the visualization and analysis of full-sized...

Kramer E, Masle J, Robinson S, Topp C
Fac Rev . 2022 Aug; 11:20. PMID: 35979143
Soil compaction, in which soil grains are pressed together leaving less pore space for air and water, is a persistent problem in mechanized agriculture. Most plant roots fail to penetrate...

Duncan K, Topp C
Methods Mol Biol . 2022 Jul; 2539:119-132. PMID: 35895201
Phenotyping specific plant traits is difficult when the samples to be measured are architecturally complex. Inflorescence and root system traits are of great biological interest, but these structures present unique...

Griffiths M, Delory B, Jawahir V, Wong K, Bagnall G, Dowd T, et al.
Plant Cell Environ . 2021 Dec; 45(3):751-770. PMID: 34914117
Roots are the interface between the plant and the soil and play a central role in multiple ecosystem processes. With intensification of agricultural practices, rhizosphere processes are being disrupted and...

Zeng D, Li M, Jiang N, Ju Y, Schreiber H, Chambers E, et al.
Plant Methods . 2021 Dec; 17(1):127. PMID: 34903248
Background: 3D imaging, such as X-ray CT and MRI, has been widely deployed to study plant root structures. Many computational tools exist to extract coarse-grained features from 3D root images,...
