Use of High Throughput Phenotyping Today

This lesson presented just one of many applications HTP devices are used for today. The implementation of high throughput phenotyping varies widely across breeding programs. Some programs have very established high throughput phenotyping methods, so they are used as the main method of data collection without the use of ground truthing. Other programs like the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Small Grains Breeding program have not yet fully integrated high throughput phenotyping into breeding pipelines and are conducting research to prove we can trust these methods of data collection. Overall, high throughput phenotyping is a tool that is both efficient and objective which can revolutionize the volume of plant breeding we can accomplish.
