High-throughput phenotyping: Breaking through the bottleneck in future crop breeding

With the rapid development of genetic analysis techniques and crop population size, phenotyping has become the bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Breaking through this bottleneck will require phenomics, defined as the accurate, high-throughput acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes during crop growth at organism-wide levels, ranging from cells to organs, individual plants, plots, and fields. Here we offer an overview of crop...
