A machine vision platform for measuring imbibition of maize kernels: quantification of genetic effects and correlations with germination

Abstract Background Imbibition (uptake of water by a dry seed) initiates the germination process. An automated method for quantifying imbibition would enable research on the genetic elements that influence the underlying hydraulic and biochemical processes. In the case of crop research, a high throu...
