High-throughput plant phenoty** has been advancing at an accelerated rate as a
response to the need to fill the gap between genomic information and the plasticity of the …

Bottlenecks in moving genomics to real-life applications also include phenomics. This is true
not only for genomics medicine and public health genomics but also in ecology and …

Root architecture, which determines the water and nutrient uptake ability of crops, is highly
plastic in response to soil environmental changes and different cultivation patterns. Root …

Hyperspectral imaging is a technology that can be used to monitor plant responses to stress.
Hyperspectral images have a full spectrum for each pixel in the image, 400–2500 nm in this …

Background Cyst nematodes are one of the major groups of plant-parasitic nematode,
responsible for considerable crop losses worldwide. Improving genetic resources, and …

Background Root system architecture and especially its plasticity in acclimation to variable
environments play a crucial role in the ability of plants to explore and acquire efficiently soil …

Background Chemical genetics provides a powerful alternative to conventional genetics for
understanding gene function. However, its application to plants has been limited by the lack …

Aboveground plant efficiency has improved significantly in recent years, and the
improvement has led to a steady increase in global food production. The improvement of …

Phenomics has the potential to facilitate significant advances in biology but requires the
development of high-throughput technologies capable of generating and analysing high …
