Plant tissues in 3D via X-ray tomography: simple contrasting methods allow high resolution imaging.

Computed tomography remains strongly underused in plant sciences despite its high potential in delivering detailed 3D phenotypical information because of the low X-ray absorption of most plant tissues. Existing protocols to study soft tissues display poor performance, especially when compared to tho...
