Automatic imaging system for plant root system based on flat cultivation container

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic imaging system for a plant root system based on a flat cultivation container, which comprises a cultivation container area, an imaging area and a migration device, wherein the cultivation container area is used for storing more than one flat cultivation container to be imaged; the imaging area is used for carrying out positive and negative shooting and imagingon the root system in the flat cultivation container to be observed by using single lens reflex camera imaging; and the migration device is used for the migration of the flat cultivation container between the cultivation container area and the imaging area. The automatic imaging system has the beneficial effects that the system is simple in overall structure, the number of observable plants is great, the positive and negative imaging for the root system of the plant in each flat cultivation container is achieved through the movement between the single camera and multiple rows of flat cultivation containers, the data acquisition is large in amount and high in efficiency, non-destructive high-throughput (300 plants can be analyzed per hour) and full-automatic plant root system phenotypic analysis can be performed on the root systems of crop plants, and the measurement and analysis parameters include the root crown structure (including root depth, crown width, etc.), the root crown area,the root length and the like, thereby being suitable for requirements of scientific research instruments for plant phenotype in the new era, and being worthy of wide popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scientific research instrument and equipment, in particular to a plant root automatic imaging system based on a flat cultivation container. Background technique [0002] Crop phenomics is a new interdisciplinary field. The genome of a plant is the internal cause, and the external environment during plant growth is the external cause. The interaction of internal and external factors together determines the phenotype of the plant, which is the appearance of the plant we see. . The study of plant phenotypes is the latest multidisciplinary interdisciplinary research field and a "new weapon" to accelerate the creation of agricultural germplasm resources. [0003] At present, there are many detection instruments for the phenotype of the aboveground parts of plants at home and abroad, but there is a considerable shortage of cultivation containers and automatic imaging instruments for plant roots, and there is no perfect equipment i...

Problems solved by technology

The GIA-Root platform of the Carnegie Institution of the United States achieves individual imaging of each plant by hanging the flat root box vertically, but this method is not suitable for plants with plant angles, because in the flat container During the hanging process, the blades will interfere with each other and be damaged

The above platforms have various restrictions on plant root cultivation containers, automatic handling and image acquisition methods, resulting in certain limitations in throughput, plant cultivation time, handling efficiency, scalability and imaging efficiency.
