Experiences of Applying Field-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping for Wheat Breeding

Abstract

High-throughput phenotypingHigh-Throughput Phenotyping (HTP) (HTP) is poised to fundamentally transform plant breedingPlant breeding through increased accuracy, spatial, and temporal resolutionTemporal resolution in measuring breedingBreeding trials. In this chapter, we examine different types of phenotyping platforms, data managementData management, and data utilization for decision making using HTP in plant breedingPlant breeding, with case studies from wheat breeding programs. Development of HTPHigh-Throughput Phenotyping (HTP) platforms, both ground-based and aerial vehicles requires evaluating the traits to be measured as well as the resources available. Data managementData management is a critical part of the overall research process, and an example data managementData management program is provided. Finally, examples of HTP use within crop breedingBreeding and plant science are presented. This chapter provides an overview of the entire HTP process from system conception to decision making within research programs based on HTPHigh-Throughput Phenotyping (HTP) data.
