Whole-Plant Phenomics

Over the last decade, biological sciences have been revolutionised by the adoption of high-throughput omics technologies, and many of the discoveries that have underpinned this revolution have now been adopted for use in plant phenotyping. The field of whole-plant phenomics resulting from this combines robotics, image capture and high-performance computational analysis and provides plant scientists with the ability to characterise dozens of phenotypes on thousands of plants daily.
