Illustration and scatter plot of branch counting method. a Example of branch counting method. Blue circle shows the location of automatically identified lowest branch point. The solid yellow line shows the circle with the highest number of intersections with the binary tassel, while dashed yellow lines show an example of circles with varying radii for which intersections were counted. b Plot of genotype means as obtained by manual and image-based measurement methods. Red line represents the fit of the manual onto the image-based measurements, and the gray shaded region represents the 95% confidence interval of the fit. The black dashed line represents a one-to-one relationship between manual and image-based measurements
