PlantVis - 3D tracking

We have developed prototype software for cell segmentation and tracking of dual labelled Arabidopsis roots (nuclear and plasma-membrane markers) in 4-D. 

Nuclei are tracked located and tracked in 3-D versus time.  Cell vertices are identified and used to reconstruct cell networks, which are then tracked with time.  Software run from ImageJ.
