Conventional and hyperspectral time-series imaging of maize lines widely used in field trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) is 1 of 3 crops, along with rice and wheat, responsible for more than one-half of all calories consumed around the world. Increasing the yield and stress tolerance of these crops is essential to meet the growing need for food. The cost and speed of plant phenotyping are currently the largest constraints on plant breeding efforts. Datasets linking new types of high-throughput phenotyping data collected from plants to the performance of the same genotypes under agronomic conditions across a wide range of environments are essential for developing new statistical approaches and computer vision-based tools.

Findings

A set of maize inbreds-primarily recently off patent lines-were phenotyped using a high-throughput platform at University of Neb
