RGB imaging-based evaluation of waterlogging tolerance in cultivated and wild chrysanthemums.

ABSTRACT: Waterlogging is a major stress that impacts the chrysanthemum industry. Large-scale germplasm screening for identifying waterlogging-tolerant resources in a quick and accurate manner is essential for developing new cultivars with improved waterlogging tolerance. To overcome this phenotyping bottleneck, consumer-grade digital cameras have been used to acquire the red-green-blue (RGB) images of 180 chrysanthemum cultivars and their wild relatives under waterlogging stress and well-watered conditions. A total of 103 image-based digital traits (i-traits), including 10 morphological i-traits and 93 texture i-traits, were extracted and systematically analyzed. Most of these i-traits presented high coefficients of variation (CVs) and broad-sense heritability (H ² )
