Root phenotyping platforms
This figure presents the main root phenotyping platform used in plant biology and to highlight their differences in terms of naturalness and throughput.
Naturalness was seen as a weighted binary combinaison of the following questions:
- Do the roots grow in 3D (x1)
- Do the individual roots meet a physical constrain to growth (x2)
- Do the roots have an unlimited growth environment (x3)
- Do the roots have access to oxygen (x3)
- Do the roots grow in soil (x4)
The figure was created with the help of the Twitter community, following this thread:
