High-throughput three-dimensional visualization of root system architecture of rice using X-ray computed tomography

Abstract Background X-ray computed tomography (CT) allows us to visualize root system architecture (RSA) beneath the soil, non-destructively and in a three-dimensional (3-D) form. However, CT scanning, reconstruction processes, and root isolation from X-ray CT volumes, take considerable time. For ge...
