Example images related to shovelomics, a method for field phenotyping of crop root systems: Two field grown maize genotypes (top, bottom) with contrasting root angles, identified with the software REST (Root Estimator for Shovelomics Traits) [119]. Original image (a, e), resulting area of interest containing about 90% of the root system (g, f; blue box) and the opening angle of the root system (b, f; red lines); visualized thickness of root clusters (c); and whole sizes (d, g), related to root branching.
