TopoRoot+: computing whorl and soil line traits of field-excavated maize roots from CT imaging

Abstract Background The use of 3D imaging techniques, such as X-ray CT, in root phenotyping has become more widespread in recent years. However, due to the complexity of the root structure, analyzing the resulting 3D volumes to obtain detailed architectural root traits remains a challenging computat...
