High throughput phenotyping of morpho-anatomical stem properties using X-ray computed tomography in sorghum

Abstract Background In bioenergy/forage sorghum, morpho-anatomical stem properties are major components affecting standability and juice yield. However, phenotyping these traits is low-throughput, and has been restricted by the lack of a high-throughput phenotyping platforms that can collect both mo...
