Michniewicz M, Ho C, Enders T, Floro E, Damodaran S, Gunther L, et al.
Dev Cell . 2019 Jul; 50(5):599-609.e4. PMID: 31327740
Developmental processes that control root system architecture are critical for soil exploration by plants, allowing for uptake of water and nutrients. Conversion of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to...

Jiang N, Floro E, Bray A, Laws B, Duncan K, Topp C
Plant Cell . 2019 May; 31(8):1708-1722. PMID: 31123089
Understanding how an organism's phenotypic traits are conditioned by genetic and environmental variation is a central goal of biology. Root systems are one of the most important but poorly understood...

Wedger M, Topp C, Olsen K
New Phytol . 2019 Mar; 223(2):1031-1042. PMID: 30883803
Root system architecture (RSA) is a critical aspect of plant growth and competitive ability. Here we used two independently evolved strains of weedy rice, a de-domesticated form of rice, to...

Bray A, Topp C
Plant Cell Physiol . 2018 Jul; 59(10):1919-1930. PMID: 30020530
Roots remain an underexplored frontier in plant genetics despite their well-known influence on plant development, agricultural performance and competition in the wild. Visualizing and measuring root structures and their growth...

Li M, An H, Angelovici R, Bagaza C, Batushansky A, Clark L, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2018 Jun; 9:553. PMID: 29922307
Current morphometric methods that comprehensively measure shape cannot compare the disparate leaf shapes found in seed plants and are sensitive to processing artifacts. We explore the use of persistent homology,...

Li M, Frank M, Coneva V, Mio W, Chitwood D, Topp C
Plant Physiol . 2018 Jun; 177(4):1382-1395. PMID: 29871979
Efforts to understand the genetic and environmental conditioning of plant morphology are hindered by the lack of flexible and effective tools for quantifying morphology. Here, we demonstrate that persistent-homology-based topological...

Delory B, Li M, Topp C, Lobet G
F1000Res . 2018 Apr; 7:22. PMID: 29636899
Quantifying plant morphology is a very challenging task that requires methods able to capture the geometry and topology of plant organs at various spatial scales. Recently, the use of persistent...

Bucksch A, Atta-Boateng A, Azihou A, Battogtokh D, Baumgartner A, Binder B, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2017 Jun; 8:900. PMID: 28659934
The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant morphology is inherently mathematical in that it describes...
