Book High Throughput Field Phenotyping to Advance Precision Agriculture and Enhance Genetic Gain  Volume II

Download or read book High Throughput Field Phenotyping to Advance Precision Agriculture and Enhance Genetic Gain Volume II written by Andreas Hund and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is part of the High-Throughput Field Phenotyping to Advance Precision Agriculture and Enhance Genetic Gain series. The discipline of “High Throughput Field Phenotyping” (HTFP) has gained momentum in the last decade. HTFP includes a wide range of disciplines such as plant science, agronomy, remote sensing, and genetics; as well as biochemistry, imaging, computation, agricultural engineering, and robotics. High throughput technologies have substantially increased our ability to monitor and quantify field experiments and breeding nurseries at multiple scales. HTFP technology can not only rapidly and cost-effectively replace tedious and subjective ratings in the field, but can also unlock the potential of new, latent phenotypes representing underlying biological function. These advances have also provided the ability to follow crop growth and development across seasons at high and previously inaccessible spatial and temporal resolutions. By combining these data with measurements of all environmental factors affecting plant growth and yield (“Envirotyping”), genotypic-specific reaction norms and phenotypic plasticity may be elucidated.

Book Applications of artificial intelligence  machine learning  and deep learning in plant breeding

Download or read book Applications of artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning in plant breeding written by Maliheh Eftekhari and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an extensive concept that can be interpreted as a concentration on designing computer programs to train machines to accomplish functions like or better than hu-mans. An important subset of AI is Machine Learning (ML), in which a computer is provided with the capacity to learn its own patterns instead of the patterns and restrictions set by a human programmer, thus improving from experience. Deep Learning (DL), as a class of ML techniques, employs multilayered neural networks. The application of AI to plant science research is new and has grown significantly in recent years due to developments in calculation power, proficien-cies of hardware, and software progress. AI algorithms try to provide classifications and predic-tions. As applied to plant breeding, particularly omics data, ML as a given AI algorithm tries to translate omics data, which are intricate and include nonlinear interactions, into precise plant breeding. The applications of AI are extending rapidly and enhancing intensely in sophistication owing to the capability of rapid processing of huge and heterogeneous data. The conversion of AI techniques into accurate plant breeding is of great importance and will play a key role in the new era of plant breeding techniques in the coming years, particularly multi-omics data analysis. Advancements in plant breeding mainly depend upon developing statistical methods that harness the complicated data provided by analytical technologies identifying and quantifying genes, transcripts, proteins, metabolites, etc. The systems biology approach used in plant breeding, which integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics data, provides a massive amount of information. It is essential to perform accurate statistical analyses and AI methods such as ML and DL as well as optimization techniques to not only achieve an understanding of networks regulation and plant cell functions but develop high-precision models to predict the reaction of new Genetically Modified (GM) plants in special conditions. The constructed models will be of great economic importance, significantly reducing the time, labor, and instrument costs when finding optimized conditions for the bio-exploitation of plants. This Research Topic covers a wide range of studies on artificial intelligence-assisted plant breeding techniques, which contribute to plant biology and plant omics research. The relevant sub-topics include, but are not restricted to, the following: • AI-assisted plant breeding using omics and multi-omics approaches • Applying AI techniques along with multi-omics to recognize novel biomarkers associated with plant biological activities • Constructing up-to-date ML modeling and analyzing methods for dealing with omics data related to different plant growth processes • AI-assisted omics techniques in the plant defense process • Combining AI-assisted omics and multi-omics techniques using plant system biology approaches • Combining bioinformatics tools with AI approaches to analyze plant omics data • Designing cutting-edge workflow and developing innovative AI biology methods for omics data analysis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domesticated crops are the result of artificial selection for particular phenotypes or, in some cases, natural selection for an adaptive trait. Plant traits can be identified through image-based plant phenotyping, a process that was, until recently, strenous and time-consuming. Intelligent Image Analysis for Plant Phenotyping reviews information on time-saving techniques, using computer vision and imaging technologies. These methodologies provide an automated, non-invasive, and scalable mechanism by which to define and collect plant phenotypes. Beautifully illustrated, with numerous color images, the book focuses on phenotypes measured from individual plants under controlled experimental conditions, which are widely available in high-throughput systems. Features: Presents methodologies for image processing, including data-driven and machine learning techniques for plant phenotyping. Features information on advanced techniques for extracting phenotypes through images and image sequences captured in a variety of modalities. Includes real-world scientific problems, including predicting yield by modeling interactions between plant data and environmental information. Discusses the challenge of translating images into biologically informative quantitative phenotypes. A practical resource for students, researchers, and practitioners, this book is invaluable for those working in the emerging fields at the intersection of computer vision and plant sciences.
