Phenotyping in Plant Breeding using Modern Tools: A Review

Abstract

The need for food globally is rising quickly. According to assessments, global food output must double to meet anticipated population growth projections by 2050. The ability to precisely phenotype crop plants in the field has been made possible by contemporary high-throughput plant phenotyping systems (HTPPs). This has been made possible by developments in automation, robotics, precise environmental control, and remote sensing technologies. We are discussing some phenotyping tools phenopsis, phenomics, phenoscope, HPGA, The Plant Accelerator, Biotron, LEPSE, LemnaTec etc. This paper examines many phenotyping contexts, such as breeding, genetic resource discovery, and translational research to provide more breeding resources, and how the various phenotyping categories mentioned above relate to each of these situations. By bridging the gap between genotype and phenotype and improving the effectiveness of selection for maximizing the genetic gain, several HTP tools and platforms have been created globally to enable breeding operations reach their full potential.
