This study

  1. Input is in all cases images of seedlings. Some software can handle multiple seedlings in the same image (single/multiple). All tools mentioned are free/open source software. With data analysis is meant if the software includes calculation of statistics to allow inference of genotype/treatment effects directly
  2. aRosette tracker is automated when there is only one seedling per image. With more, the user must keep track of identity of seedlings interactively
