To achieve a detailed understanding of processes in plant roots an intrinsic root coordinate system (iRoCS) has been developed as a reference model for the root apical meristem of plants. iRoCS enables direct and quantitative comparison between the root tips of plant populations at single-cell resolution. The iRoCS Toolbox automatically fits standardized coordinates to raw 3D image data. The power of the technique was shown using elements of the auxin transport system.
