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.
