pyRootHair: Machine Learning Accelerated Software for High-Throughput Phenotyping of Plant Root Hair Traits

pyRootHair automates root hair trait quantification from plant root images, revealing significant variation across wheat cultivars and supporting high-throughput analysis.

The switch from bacterial phosphorus mineralization to arbuscular mycorrhiza in root hairless wheat during crop development

This study shows wheat root hair mutants shift from bacterial to fungal phosphorus acquisition during development under phosphorus-depleted conditions.

A wheat chromosome segment substitution line series supports characterisation and use of progenitor genetic variation

The paper develops wheat chromosome segment substitution lines to capture genetic variation from progenitor species and assesses their utility for trait localization.
