Show abstract
Hyperspectral imaging is an imaging technique that allows for acquisition of high-resolution spectral information beyond that of the visible spectrum. When applied to plants, it effectively enables non-invasive characterization of physiological status and has been widely used in agricultural settings. Marchantia is a model bryophyte species whose flat morphology and visually distinct stress-response phenotypes makes it an ideal candidate for imaging studies. Here, we provide a comprehensive protocol for hyperspectral imaging for Marchantia plants, which encompasses hardware configuration, data acquisition, and computations processing. This protocol features a streamlined data processing pipeline hosted on a web-based development platform that automates 1) the segmentation of plant area into spatially distinct regions for localized analysis of intra-specimen physiological gradients, and 2) classification of plant pixels based on their spectral signatures. All results are exported as structured CSV files for ease of further analysis as desired by the user.
