Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Food_Agriculture/Crop_Ontology)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'Seed Number - Counting'?

A. RootReader2D (RR2D, Clark et al., 2013) was used to analyse images. First, a ‘batch process’ was carried out which automatically ‘thresholds’, ‘skeletonises’ and ‘builds segments’ of all images in bulk. Then, the the root system of individual images was measured by placing a marker at the ase and tip of the primary root. From these markers, RR2D automatically calculates primary root length (PRL), lateral root length(LRL) of all laterals and lateral root number (LRN).
B. 10 plants from each plot were assessed and the number of plants with Phoma leaf spot was recorded. The whole plant was assessed. The incidence of Phoma leaf spot was calculated as % of plants out of ten sampled plants that were found to have Phoma leaf spot.
C. Count number of pods in a 20 cm length of the terminal raceme (primary if terminal damaged). Plants are randomly selected from the centre of a well established plots avoiding obvious volunteers. All plant are harvested in the field and returned to the lab for processing.
D. Count number of seeds in ten typical pods taken from main raceme (or primary branch if main raceme damaged) using MARVIN seed analyser.

Answer: Count number of seeds in ten typical pods taken from main raceme (or primary branch if main raceme damaged) using MARVIN seed analyser.
