Background
The EZ-Rhizo application enables the analysis of images of roots grown on two-dimensional media such as agar plates. The program provides a semi-automated system for root detection, measurement of multiple parameters relevant to the root architecture, data storage and data analysis.
The Root-VIS application provides rapid and informative visualisations of comparative averages extracted from RSA datasets acquired by the EZ-Rhizo program (and other software); the program also produces numerical output, in a choice of formats, which can be used as source data for more detailed analysis elsewhere.
Terms of use
The Rhizo-II Root Biometrics Suite is available free of charge for use in academic research institutions; however, registration/activation of the software is required. When publishing data collected, or analyses made, using the software, please cite:
