High throughput can produce better decisions than high accuracy when phenotyping plant populations

Studies assessing phenotypes of plant populations traditionally place their primary focus on increasing measurement precision and improving accuracy. Phenotyping methods that use imaging, remote sensing, spectroscopy, continue to increase throughput capacity, but information has been unavailable assess the tradeoffs between increased any potential decreases in In this simulation study, we compare four levels accuracy across varying throughput, discuss how an error rate can be compensated for via if experimental resources are allocated appropriately. Under tested scenarios correct values genotypes were best estimated by number environments. Genetic mapping studies should population size as well see improvements over more accurate methods. This simplistic mimics many empirical findings will interest researcher interested high-throughput phenotyping affect decision-making crop research programs.
