Seed internal morphology
- Detection and measurement of the structure and internal organs of seeds by X-ray imaging.
Example of use:
PeaMUST project (2012-2020) - Funded by Programme d’Investissements d’avenir
An analytical protocol is being developed for high-throughput detection of bruche damage on peas and faba beans, by X-ray tomography.
Potential benefit:
Identify very quickly varieties of peas and faba beans that are not very palatable for bruches.
