Branching and Rooting Out with a computed tomography (CT) Scanner: The Why, the How, and the Outcomes, Present and Possibly Future. At the time this editorial was written, an extremely interesting loop was closing! this text was written last after the invitation received in October 2012 and the proposal submitted in August 2013 for a Frontiers in Plant Science research topic on “plant CT scanning,” the preliminary submission of abstracts in December 2013 and the seven peer-reviewed contributions endorsed for publication and published in MarchDecember 2015
Since CT scanners were originally designed for medical applications and later for industrial applications, some adjustment to the reality of the plant world has been necessary, in the air or in the soil or water medium depending on the plant structure or material of interest: the branching pattern in a leaf canopy and the leaves themselves, or a root system
