Plant Phenotyping
Plant phenotyping is the process of measuring and recording traits and characteristics of a plant in a systematic way. It is a key tool for plant breeders, geneticists and agronomists to identify the desirable traits in plants and use them to create new varieties through traditional breeding or genetic engineering. Through the use of imaging and data analysis technologies, plant phenotyping allows the collection of data from multiple plants over long periods of time, enabling the analysis and comparison of a wider range of traits than ever before. It is becoming increasingly important as a tool for improving crop yields, developing new varieties of plants and researching plant genetics.
