Highlights
The heart of plant biology is to understand the link between a genetic difference and expressed phenotypes
Phenotyping is labor intensive; it has become a restrictive factor in plant biology studies and crop improvement research
Part of the experimental results obtained after nine times data collection using the developed high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms (HTP) platform at a Canola breeding facility in Saskatchewan, Canada during June to August 2017, is discussed
Summary
The heart of plant biology is to understand the link between a genetic difference and expressed phenotypes. Genotyping now is accomplished with low-cost, high-throughput analyses. Phenotyping is labor intensive; it has become a restrictive factor in plant biology studies and crop improvement research. Platforms for high-throughput phenotyping, mainly under field settings, are needed to match the genomic information [1-3]. There is growing interest in adapting agricultural machinery and electronic sensors for field-based high-throughput phenotyping [4]. Potential applications include monitoring of the crop response to soil, management variability, and correcting crop management with variable inputs to improve yield and economic efficiency, i.e., precision agriculture [5]
