Our work analyzes the spatial distribution of plant roots cellular nuclei inoculated with Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and observed on confocal microscope. The images obtained are processed to measure the distribution of the nuclei on the x, y plane and to evaluate the autocorrelation of the nuclear sections size. The image processing protocol proposed involves the density calculation, the Clarks and Evans (Ecology 35:445–453, 1954) index for the positioning and the variogram analysis of the correlation between nuclei size.

Abstract

Our work analyzes the spatial distribution of plant roots cellular nuclei inoculated with Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and observed on confocal microscope. The images obtained are processed to measure the distribution of the nuclei on the x, y plane and to evaluate the autocorrelation of the nuclear sections size. The image processing protocol proposed involves the density calculation, the Clarks and Evans (Ecology 35:445–453, 1954) index for the positioning and the variogram analysis of the correlation between nuclei size.
