Image-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping in Horticultural Crops

Plant phenotyping is the primary task of any plant breeding program, and accurate measurement traits essential to select genotypes with better quality, high yield, climate resilience. The majority currently used techniques are destructive time-consuming. Recently, development various sensors imaging platforms for rapid efficient quantitative has become mainstream approach in studies. Here, we reviewed trends image-based high-throughput methods applied horticultural crops. High-throughput carried out using types developed indoor or field conditions. We highlighted applications different horticulture sector their advantages limitations. Furthermore, principles commonly techniques, visible light (RGB) imaging, thermal chlorophyll fluorescence, hyperspectral tomographic phenotyping, discussed. been widely traits, which can be morphological, physiological, biochemical, biotic, abiotic stress responses. Moreover, ability help optical will lead discovery new phenotypic need explored future. summarized image analysis evaluation several examples crops literature. Finally, current trend future perspectives.
