t0“Carrot (Daucus carota L.)”
e1“This method reliably measured variation in shoot size and shape, petiole number, petiole length, and petiole width as evidenced by high correlations with hundreds of manual measurements”
e2“Similarly, root length and biomass were accurately measured from the images”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource The image pipeline reliably measured shoot size and shape, petiole number and petiole length against manual measurements.
- Method / resource The image pipeline reliably measured petiole width against manual measurements.
- Method / resource The platform quantified shoot and root shapes as principal components, which have no traditional manually measurable equivalents.
- Observation Repeatability was high within a growing environment.
- Observation Repeatability was low to moderate across environments.
- Association Quantitative trait loci for shoot and root characteristics co-localized on chromosomes 1, 2 and 7.
- Mechanism Co-localization of shoot and root traits is suggested to reflect genetic linkage and/or pleiotropy.
