Microclimate-Controlled Smart Growth Cabinets for High-Throughput Plant Phenotyping.

ABSTRACT: Climate change is driving urgent demand for resilient crop varieties capable of withstanding extreme and changing conditions. Identifying resilient varieties requires systematic plant phenotyping research under controlled conditions, where dynamic environmental impacts can be studied. Current growth cabinets (GC) provide this capability but remain limited by high costs, static environments, and scalability. These limitations pose a challenge for climate change-based phenotyping research which requires large-scale trials under a variety of dynamic climate conditions. Presented is a microclimate-controlled smart growth cabinet (MCSGC) platform, addressing these limitations through four innovations. The first is dynamic microclimate simulation through programmable environmental 'recipes' repr
