This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome of Thinopyrum bessarabicum, showing the J genome is not part of polyploid Thinopyrum ancestry and identifies genomic features linked to salt tolerance.

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

The paper introduces RAT, a low-cost root anatomical imaging system, and shows reduced vascular complexity in wheat crown roots from basal to distal regions.

This study creates the first complete SUMO Cell Atlas in eukaryotes, revealing how SUMO components vary spatially and are regulated during stress responses in Arabidopsis roots.

The paper examines how root metaxylem area affects drought tolerance and transpiration in pearl millet, showing soil texture-dependent water use strategies.

RootNav 2.0 uses deep learning to automatically extract root architectures from plant images, achieving comparable accuracy to semi-automatic methods with significantly increased speed.

The paper introduces a dataset and a deep learning model for accurate wheat spike and spikelet localization and counting in plant phenotyping.
