Traits for Phenotyping

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phenomics in Crop Plants: Trends, Options and Limitations

Abstract

The term plant phenotyping has been regenerated with the contribution of sensors, system technologies, and algorithms. This new plant describing concept allows multi-trait assessment with automatic measurements. Uniform structure, nondestructive measurements, precise results, and direct storage are the advantages of digital phenotyping. The hyper-spectral spectroradiometers and imaging technologies lead the way of new plant phenotyping applications. This high-throughput technique therefore requires lots of traditional and novel traits to present new characterization. Digital-based phenotyping in plants is new and still a developing area of research. The most often used traits of digital phenotyping are canopy temperature, chlorophyll fluorescence, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, leaf water potential, leaf area, fruit color, carbon isotope discrimination, light interception, senescence, and root traits which have been discussed in this chapter together with their advantages, limitations, and plant breeding potentials.
