Generation of 3D representations in continuous space from discrete image data and quantitative image analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana plantlet nuclei. (A) Confocal image of an A. thaliana DAPI-stained nucleus. Chromocenters appear as bright foci. Scale bar: 1 m. (B) Segmentation mask of the nucleus. (C) Segmentation masks of the chromocenters. ABC show maximum intensity projections of the corresponding 3D images. (D) 3D reconstruction of the nucleus (triangular mesh) with chromocenters represented by their equivalent spheres. (E) Distribution of nuclear size and shape parameters. (F) Distribution of the number of chromocenters per nucleus. (G) Distribution of chromocenter size and shape parameters.
