Arthropod herbivory poses a serious threat to crop yield, prompting plants to employ intricate defense mechanisms against pest feeding. The generalist pest 2-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) inflicts rapid damage and remains challenging due to its broad target range. In this study, we explored the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) response to T.

- - Current live-cell imaging techniques enable the observation of biological processes in real-time, offering in-depth insights with high spatial and temporal resolution.
- - TrackAnalyzer, an accessible tool via Fiji and ImageJ, allows for semi-automated single-particle tracking and provides comprehensive motion classification as well as quantitative analysis of diffusion and intensity.
- - The TrackAnalyzer workflow automates detection, tracking, classification, and visualization steps, allowing for batch processing of data to efficiently analyze large sets of temporal images.
Article Synopsis
- Multi-color fluorescence imaging helps researchers study interactions between cell structures, but issues like mechanical drift and chromatic aberration can reduce image quality.
- The authors introduce OFM Corrector, an extension of the Scipion framework that corrects these distortions in real-time using advanced registration techniques.
- Their software, which is user-friendly and freely available, offers a practical solution for improving image resolution in various biological research applications.
Fluorescence microscopy techniques have experienced a substantial increase in the visualization and analysis of many biological processes in life science. We describe a semiautomated and versatile tool called Cell-TypeAnalyzer to avoid the time-consuming and biased manual classification of cells according to cell types. It consists of an open-source plugin for Fiji or ImageJ to detect and classify cells in 2D images.
