Plant Phenotyping is the study of categorizing various properties of plants in terms of their function
Plant phenotyping is an emerging research field concerned with
quantification of plant characteristics and their variations in response to
environmental challenges. It is largely motivated by ethical considerations
such as adequate food supply must be maintained to meet the increased human
need for food, and this can only be achieved effectively through sustainable
agriculture, with the use of plant genetics and associated techniques.
Currently, plant breeders and their representatives in the pharmaceutical and
biotechnological industries are investing heavily in the development of new
plant varieties for the pharmaceutical, bio-producers and other industry
sectors. Some of these are currently receiving government financial support.
The ultimate aim of the plant phenotyping solution appears to be that these new
varieties may one day replace traditional breeding methods with more productive
and cost-effective genetic engineering approaches.
This focus on the development of new varieties has led to a surge in the
publication of plant
phenotyping publications over the past five years or so. Many of these
have reported significant progress in the areas of plant development and
management and the management of plant disease. However, most have remained
constrained by the difficulty of achieving high quality and conclusive genetic
results in time. While some have reported major successes and plant products
have appeared on supermarket shelves, others remain controversial and await
further investment and time before they become available for sale. One of the
areas of great interest is the area of genetic engineering, which is itself a
relatively new development in the history of plant genetics. This focus on the
development of improved and targeted traits is an important development in the
development of these new and upcoming plant varieties.
The precision agriculture method is highly effective
in the evaluation of gene flow among different geographical regions. It also
provides a platform for the testing of genetic control mechanisms among crop
plants through the application of different colors and forms of genetic
variation. For instance, in August 2021, a group of researchers from the
Yokohama City University Kihara Institute for Biological Research, U.S.
developed an AI-based analytical solution to obtain con-current analysis and
live-imaging of plants.
