The detection of phenotypic alterations of mutants and variants is one of the bottlenecks that hinder systematic gene functional studies of the model plant Arabidopsis. In an earlier study, we have addressed this problem by proposing a novel methodology for phenome analysis based on in silico analysis of polygon models that are acquired by 3-dimensional (3D) measurement and which precisely reconstruct the actual plant shape. However, 3D quantitative descriptions of morphological traits are rare, whereas conventional 2D descriptions have already been studied but may lack the necessary precision. Read More

Many mutants have been isolated from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and recent important genetic resources, such as T-DNA knockout lines, facilitate the speed of identifying new mutants. However, present phenotypic analysis of mutant screens depends mainly on qualitative descriptions after visual observation of morphological traits. We propose a novel method of phenotypic analysis based on precise three-dimensional (3D) measurement by a laser range finder (LRF) and automatic data processing. Read More
