Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource New shape descriptors based on cross-sectional area profiles and other spike features were introduced to capture structural variation between wheat genotypes.
- Method / resource The method distinguished morphological differences among twelve wheat genotypes, revealing distinct shape types such as long, short, compact and awned spikes.
- Observation The authors conclude that 3D surface-scanning can deliver accurate and reproducible measurements of wheat spike architecture.
