Instant Insights: Phenotyping Applications in Agriculture (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on the different applications of phenotyping techniques across agriculture.

The first chapter reviews the importance of phenotyping in plant breeding programmes and considers the role of phenomics in boosting the genetic gain in grain yields. The application of high-throughput phenotyping techniques as a cost-efficient method for phenotypic data acquisition is also discussed.

The second chapter reviews carrier systems for non-invasive field phenotyping, outlines the principles of envirotyping, and examines the challenge of physiological breeding by means of high-throughput phenotyping of plant development.

The third chapter explores phenotyping for key traits and environments, as well as the challenges facing reliable phenotyping. A case study on physiological breeding for yield potential and climate change mitigation is also included. The fourth chapter reviews the application of phenotyping techniques based on existing plant cohort research in plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs). It also explores the possibility of plant phenotype-based environmental control in PFALs.

The final chapter examines recent advances in phenotyping to identify drought-resistance traits in cereal roots. It also reviews current root phenotyping strategies and challenges.
