Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Background Because soil salinity is a major abiotic constraint affecting crop yield, much
research has been conducted to develop plants with improved salinity tolerance. Salinity …

Reliable, automatic, multifunctional, and high-throughput phenotypic technologies are
increasingly considered important tools for rapid advancement of genetic gain in breeding …

During the last decade, there has been rapid adoption of ground and aerial platforms with
multiple sensors for phenotyping various biotic and abiotic stresses throughout the …

Salt stress limits the productivity of crops grown under saline conditions, leading to
substantial losses of yield in saline soils and under brackish and saline irrigation. Salt …

Salt stress reduces land and water productivity and contributes to poverty and food
insecurity. Increased salinization caused by human practices and climate change is …

Plant phenomics has received increasing interest in recent years in an attempt to bridge the
genotype-to-phenotype knowledge gap. There is a need for expanded high-throughput …

Automated collection of large scale plant phenotype datasets using high throughput imaging
systems has the potential to alleviate current bottlenecks in data-driven plant breeding and …

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …
