Description
Visual Grain Analyzer (VGA) is a user-friendly ImageJ macro, which has utilized ImageJ/or Fiji facilities to provide a simple tool for grain analysis, seed technology, and phenomics studies. This macro: A) Simulates the processing and calculations reported in the paper: Haghshenas, A., Emam, Y., & Jafarizadeh, S. (2022). Wheat grain width: a clue for re-exploring visual indicators of grain weight. Plant Methods, 18(1), 58. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-022-00891-1 In particular, as reported in the paper, VGA provides various estimations of wheat grain weight, based on the image-derived indices. B) Also, VGA might be used for other phenotyping purposes such as size & shape analyses of grains of other species, leaf area measurement, etc.
