About the Book

Plant scientists are working to improve important food crops such as rice, maize, and beans to meet the food needs of a growing world population. However, boosting crop output will require improving more than what can be seen of these plants above the ground. Root systems are essential to gathering water and nutrients, but understanding what’s happening in these unseen parts of the plants has until now depended mostly on lab studies and subjective field measurements.
Imaging of root systems has, until now, largely been done in the laboratory, using seedlings grown in small pots and containers. Such studies provide information on the early stages of development, and do not directly quantify the effects of realistic growing conditions or field variations in water, soil, or nutrient levels.
The imaging system permits tracking ion movement from soil to root as well as from root to distal parts of the plant.
These radioisotope imaging systems have a great advantage over other methods in sensitivity, resolution, wide dynamic range, numerical treatment of the image, and the ability to acquire the image under normal light conditions. These systems are expected to provide new insight into the physiology of living plants. In combination with other established techniques, these imaging systems should also stimulate the development of research into genomic expression and the movement of inorganic nutrients.
Plant Image Analysis: Fundamentals and Applications introduces the basic concepts of image analysis and discusses various techniques in plant imaging, their applications, and future potential.
The book is an authoritative guide for researchers and those teaching in the fields of stress physiology, precision agriculture, agricultural biotechnology, and cell and developmental biology. Graduate students and professionals using machine vision in plant science will also benefit from this comprehensive resource.
