archiDART;Illustrate the functionalities of the R package archiDART， we performed a quantitative root system architecture analysis of a model cereal and two dicotyledonous plant species;Example1. Brachypodium plantlets;At the beginning of the experiment, scanning each root system at 400 dpi every 24 h for 11 days. At the end of the experiment (day 11), a single composite image of each root system was constructed with Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1. the new root segments that appeared at each observation date were drawn with a specific colour(facilitate the vectorization with DART);Example2. Hevea brasiliensis;Example3. Solanum lycopersicum;RSA input data;archidraw and archigrow both use the generic X-Y plotting functions of the R package ‘graphics’ (R Core Team 2015) to plot the vectorization results of many root systems in a single operation. archidraw—a root system with a colour code at which a link is seen for the first time, archigrow—exportation of growth rate matrices and a colour code depending on the growth rate value of each link constituting the vectorized root systems architect—provide an overall description of entire root systems。Root lengths, root numbers and lateral root densities are computed，the secondary root distribution along a first-order root can also be studied ;Latdist—describe lateral root length and density distribution along each mother root of a vectorized root system（select branching point to the parent root points can be selected with or without linear interpolation Lateral root density and a total lateral root length are calculated Trajectory—calculate root growth angle (basal branching and root tip angles), orientation and tortuosity, as well as statistical parameters (mean and standard deviation) that describe the curvature of each root of a vectorized root system. position equidistantly spaced points along each root constituting a vectorized root system the angles (θij) between the direction vectors (Hi j) of successive li
