The lab is fully-vaccinated! We had our first in-person social event, an outside BBQ, since December, 2019. We enjoyed great company and great food. Still cautious in general, but was great to see everyone together. @ASeethepalli @haichao_guo @soilnwater @LarryMattYork

Did you ever wish there was a public image set based on scans of physical objects with known length, diameter, and volume for validating image analysis algorithms? Granted! This set was used to validate @RhizoVision Explorer and includes ground truth data doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

An illustrated protocol, example R code, and example data output have been released detailing how to use @LICOR_ENV 850 gas analyzers (roughly $6,000) for high-throughput measures of root respiration and to process directories of output. #gasflux zenodo.org/record/4247873

RhizoVision Explorer is the hub of the RhizoVision ecosystem, that includes open, affordable hardware already published, like RhizoVision Crown, and upcoming plans for blue paper or pouch phenotyping, agar plates, and rhizoboxes. Flexibility is a strength.

RhizoVision Explorer has a Whole root mode for analyzing intact roots, like root crowns for shovelomics or roots on agar, and compatible with our RhizoVision Crown hardware platform. Additional features include convex hull, width, depth, angles, and holes doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

Marcus wrote a short post about how barcodes can be used for sample tracking and for ingesting data directly into R scripts. We process so many samples that his super organization has been key to successes. We try to scan barcodes as much as possible to limit errors.

Thanks for your interest. I couldn't make a good response in a tweet length so I made a short blog post about a PlantID barcode system at bit.ly/3175RdK any other questions please let me know!
