Figure 1.

Visual comparison between root cross section images of different plants and their simulation with GRANAR. A, Rice adventitious root grown hydroponically and collected 10 cm above the root tip. B, Wheat (Triticum aestivum) ‘Savannah’ mature adventitious root grown in soil and collected 5 cm from stem. C, Arabidopsis primary root grown on an agar plate collected 5 cm from the root tip. Initial image cross section comes from figure 4 in Atkinson and Wells (2017). D, Maize (B73 line) crown root grown aeroponically and collected 5 cm from the root tip. Initial image cross section comes from Hachez et al. (2006). E, Mature Ranunculus root (Reynolds, 2014). The model parameters used for the simulations were gathered with ImageJ and are available at https://github.com/granar/granar_examples. The area information below each image corresponds to the total area of the cross sections.
