Description
GROWSCREEN-Root is a image-based software, which allows the automatic analysis of root architecture. Images of whole root systems grown in agar-filled Petri dishes are acquired with a CCD-camera. The key element of the software is the extraction of a tree model for root system. The following parameters can be determined automatically and shown in a false-color image: - length of primary root - total length of lateral roots - number of lateral roots - angle of branching, which represents the angle between a primary root and branched lateral roots.
