The first preprint of COS junior PI @kaspervangelderen.bsky.social! Always a very special moment in a group's scientific trajectory. Congratulations!

Kasper van Gelderen@kaspervangelderen.bsky.social · 4d ago

The first preprint of my lab has just come out doi.org/10.64898/202... This paper came out at the same day on the sudden passing of Prof. Meng Chen. Without his work, this paper would not have existed. He was an extremely supportive member of the plant photobiology community..

The takedown of Jason Arday has overjoyed the right, and must be a wake-up call for the left | Jason Okundaye

The Cambridge academic has rightly now resigned. But that won’t end the targeting of senior black figures or the lazy way institutions promote faux equality, says Guardian columnist Jason Okundaye

So proud to see our Ashish Rajurkar’s work featured on this cover! He developed ClearDepthIAS, a scalable, non-destructive platform combining 360° infrared imaging and deep learning to quantify root system architecture in soil-grown crops. Check it out academic.oup.com/plphys/advan... #PlantSci

Image description: The image illustrates the ClearDepthIAS platform for high-throughput root phenotyping in soil-grown taproot crops. It shows the panoramic 360° infrared image obtained by digitally unrolling the cylindrical pot surface to reveal roots growing along the transparent wall. The cyan overlay represents the output of ClearDepth-WRT (Wall Root Tracker), a deep learning-based segmentation algorithm that detects and reconstructs visible roots from the infrared image, enabling extraction of quantitative root architectural descriptors. By integrating automated imaging, panoramic image reconstruction, deep learning-based root segmentation, and quantitative trait analysis, ClearDepthIAS enables non-destructive measurement of root system architecture in soil, providing a scalable platform for genetic studies, trait discovery, and crop improvement.
