This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant phenotyping is the thorough assessment of plant traits such as growth, development, adaptation, yield, quality, tolerance, resistance, architecture, and the basic measurement of individual quantitative parameters that form the basis for understanding of traits. Genetic approaches to understand plant growth and development have always benefitted from phenotyping techniques that are simple, rapid and measurable in units. The forward genetics approach is all about understanding the trait inheritance using the phenotypic data and in most cases it is the mutant phenotypes that formed the basis for understanding of gene functions. With rapid advancement of genotyping techniques, high throughput genotyping has become a reality at costs people never imagined to be that low, but the phenotypic methods did not receive same attention. However, without quality phenotyping data the genotyping data cannot be effectively put to use in plant improvement. Therefore efforts are underway to develop high-throughput phenotyping methods in plants to keep pace with revolutionary advancement in genotyping techniques to enhance the efficiency of crop improvement programs. Keeping this in mind, we described in this book the best phenomic tools available for trait improvement in some of the world’s most important crop plants.

Book Plant Phenotyping and Phenomics for Plant Breeding

Download or read book Plant Phenotyping and Phenomics for Plant Breeding written by Gustavo A. Lobos and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a consequence of the global climate change, both the reduction on yield potential and the available surface area of cultivated species will compromise the production of food needed for a constant growing population. There is consensus about the significant gap between world food consumption projected for the coming decades and the expected crop yield-improvements, which are estimated to be insufficient to meet the demand. The complexity of this scenario will challenge breeders to develop cultivars that are better adapted to adverse environmental conditions, therefore incorporating a new set of morpho-physiological and physico-chemical traits; a large number of these traits have been found to be linked to heat and drought tolerance. Currently, the only reasonable way to satisfy all these demands is through acquisition of high-dimensional phenotypic data (high-throughput phenotyping), allowing researchers with a holistic comprehension of plant responses, or ‘Phenomics’. Phenomics is still under development. This Research Topic aims to be a contribution to the progress of methodologies and analysis to help understand the performance of a genotype in a given environment.

Book Phenomics in Crop Plants  Trends  Options and Limitations

Download or read book Phenomics in Crop Plants Trends Options and Limitations written by Jitendra Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identification of desirable genotypes with traits of interest is discernible for making genetic improvement of crop plants. In this direction, screening of a large number of germplasm for desirable traits and transfer of identified traits into agronomic backgrounds through recombination breeding is the common breeding approach. Although visual screening is easier for qualitative traits, its use is not much effective for quantitative traits and also for those, which are difficult to score visually. Therefore, it is imperative to phenotype the germplasm accessions and breeding materials precisely using high throughput phenomics tools for challenging and complex traits under natural, controlled and harsh environmental conditions. Realizing the importance of phenotyping data towards identification and utilization of a germplasm as donors, global scientific community has exerted increased focus on advancing phenomics in crop plants leading to development of a number of techniques and methodologies for screening of agronomic, physiological, and biochemical traits. These technologies have now become much advanced and entered the era of digital science. This book provides exhaustive information on various aspects related to phenotyping of crop plants and offers a most comprehensive reference on the developments made in traditional and high throughput phenotyping of agricultural crops.

Download or read book High Throughput Phenotyping in Plants written by Jennifer Normanly and published by Humana Press. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic approaches to understanding plant growth and development have always benefitted from screens that are simple, quantitative and rapid. Visual screens and morphometric analysis have yielded a plethora of interesting mutants and traits that have provided insight into complex regulatory pathways, and yet many genes within any given plant genome remain undefined. The premise underlying High Throughput Phenotyping in Plants: Methods and Protocols is that the higher the resolution of the phenotype analysis the more likely that new genes and complex interactions will be revealed. The methods described in this volume can be generally classified as quantitative profiling of cellular components, ranging from ions to small molecule metabolites and nuclear DNA, or image capture that ranges in resolution from chlorophyll fluorescence from leaves and time-lapse images of seedling shoots and roots to individual plants within a population at a field site. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, High Throughput Phenotyping in Plants: Methods and Protocols serves as an invaluable guide to plant researchers and all scientists who wish to better understand plant growth and development.

Book An Algorithmic Toolbox for Plant Phenotyping with 3D Point Clouds

Download or read book An Algorithmic Toolbox for Plant Phenotyping with 3D Point Clouds written by Illia Ziamtsov and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing automated methods to efficiently process large volumes of point cloud data remains a grand challenge for 3D plant phenotyping applications. Phenotyping is one of the key pre-cursors towards developing more efficient breeding strategies and improvement of crop yields. Using 3D point clouds for plant phenotyping helps to eliminate problems that are usually encountered by performing phenotyping with images. However, point clouds come with their own set of problems, which include registration errors, missing data, sensor noise, and scalability. Point clouds of plants also typically have problems related to "natural" noise caused by small features such as trichomes or natural shape irregularities; further, handling the diversity of organic structures observed across plant species is challenging. All these nuances need to be considered to ensure quality extraction of phenotyping traits. Here, we develop a collection of graph-theoretic and machine learning methods to tackle three primary challenges in plant phenotyping: leaf/branch classification, leaf counting, and branch skeletonization. For classification, we assess and validate the accuracy of our methods on a dataset of 54 3D shoot architectures representing multiple species, growth conditions, and developmental time-points. Using deep learning, we achieved 97.8% accuracy on classifying leaves versus branches; critically, we also demonstrate the robustness of our method to growth conditions and species that have not been trained on, which is important in practical applications but is often untested. For leaf counting, we developed an enhanced region growing algorithm to reduce over-segmentation; this method achieved 86.6% accuracy, outperforming prior methods developed for this problem. Finally, for branch skeletonization, we developed an enhanced tip detection technique that ran an order of magnitude faster and generated more precise skeleton architectures compared to prior methods. In addition, we improved the quality of angles produced by skeletonization. Overall, our improvements enable higher throughput and accurate extraction of phenotypic properties from 3D point cloud data. Finally, all the algorithmic methods presented in this thesis were packaged in a stand alone GUI application, called Plant3D (P3D).
