Overview of backward prediction in this study. a Time course diagram of cultivation. There are three sampling time points, A, B, and C. The last data of the time series is obtained at sampling time point C. b Schematic diagram showing that the roots are shorter before a certain time point. The black segment indicates a root at time points A, B, and C. c Schematic diagram of overlaying a root segment drawn in (b) and a RSA vector. Green circles indicate vector nodes and green lines indicate a connection between the nodes. Each node was scored based on whether the node overlapped with the root segment. RSA vector at sampling time point C should be manually prepared. RSA vectors at sampling time points A and B are automatically predicted by backward prediction
