“…Some of them only measure part of the process, focusing on apical hook angle (Geng et al, 2013;Russino et al, 2013;Slovak et al, 2014), while others only measure length and length variation (French et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2009;Geng et al, 2013), the relative elemental growth rate (REGR; van der Weele et al, 2003;Walter et al, 2002) or curvature (French et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2009). Recent advances have been made in measurement of the full kinematics, mainly in roots (Basu et al, 2007;Chavarria-Krauser et al, 2008;Basu and Pal, 2012), inflorescence stems (Hall and Ellis, 2013) or a variety of organs (Barbier de Reuille et al, 2015). One method relies on a structure tensor and optical flow to track the speed of each pixel (Chavarria-Krauser et al, 2008).…”
