Description:

The dataset consists of 1120 high-resolution RGB images, all taken from a top-down perspective of various pots. These images were obtained from a phenotyping platform developed at the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) to analyze teff roots and shoots. Each pot contained 16 seeds from different mutant teff strains to study their growth in a shared environment. The seeds were arranged around the perimeter of transparent pots to allow for side-view imaging of root growth, although these specific images are not included in this dataset.

The pots were divided into four groups, each containing 40 pots. Each group, or block, is labeled as EXP{X}_Block{Y}. The genotypes were duplicated in each block and placed on a bench with varying airflow gradients. Photos were taken every two to three days to monitor plant development, resulting in a series of seven images per pot. Each day’s images are stored in separate directories per block, with the first directory containing the earliest images and the final directory containing the latest images.
