Making the Genotypic Variation Visible: Hyperspectral Phenotyping in Scots Pine Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: Hyperspectral reflectance contains valuable information about leaf functional traits, which can indicate a plant's physiological status. Therefore, using hyperspectral reflectance for high-throughput phenotyping of foliar traits could be a powerful tool for tree breeders and nursery practitioners to distinguish and select seedlings with desired adaptation potential to local environments. We evaluated the use of 2 nondestructive methods (i.e., leaf and proximal/canopy) measuring hyperspectral reflectance in the 350- to 2,500-nm range for phenotyping on 1,788 individual Scots pine seedlings belonging to lowland and upland ecotypes of 3 different local populations from the Czech Republic. Leaf-level measurements were collected using a spectroradiometer and a contact probe with an internal lig
