Table I. Summary of the subset of traits automatically measured from the plant mesh used for the reported QTL analyses.
Trait Type | Measurement | Description of Measured Trait |
---|---|---|
Composite | Shoot height | Vertical distance from the lowest shoot point to the highest shoot point, including leaves and inflorescence |
Shoot surface area | Surface area of the entire shoot | |
Shoot center of mass | Vertical distance from the lowest shoot point to the shoot’s center of mass | |
Shoot compactness | Surface area of the smallest convex polyhedron that contains the entire shoot (i.e. convex hull surface area) | |
Organ level | Shoot cylinder height | Vertical distance from the lowest shoot cylinder point to the highest shoot cylinder point |
Leaf length | Length of a leaf | |
Leaf surface area | Surface area of a leaf | |
Leaf width | Width of a leaf | |
