Miscanthus holds a great potential in the frame of bioeconomy and yield prediction can help improving logistic supply chain. Breeding programs several countries are attempting to produce high-yielding hybrids better adapted different climates end-uses. Multispectral images acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Italy UK 2021 2022 were used investigate feasibility high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) novel for crop traits estimation.

We present an image processing method for accurately segmenting crop plots from Unmanned Aerial System imagery (UAS). The use of UAS agricultural monitoring has increased significantly, emerging as a potentially cost effective alternative to manned aerial surveys and field work remotely assessing state. accurate segmentation small densely-packed over extensive areas is important component this activity in order assess the state different varieties treatment regimes timely cost-effective...
The incorporation of new sophisticated phenotyping technologies within a crop improvement program allows for plant breeding strategy that can include selections major root traits previously inaccessible due to the challenges in their phenotype assessment. High-throughput precision technology is employed evaluate ontogeny and progressive changes architecture both novel amphiploid introgression lines Festulolium over four consecutive months growing season these compared under same time frame...
Drought is a major abiotic stress that limits crop productivity and driving the need to introduce new tolerant crops with better economic yield. Tef (Eragrostis tef) neglected (orphan) Ethiopian warm-season annual gluten-free cereal high nutritional health benefits. Further, tef resilient environmental challenges such as drought, but adaptive mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, metabolic changes associated drought response in 11 accessions were identified using phenomic...

Oats ( Avena sativa L) is a temperate cereal and important healthy cultivated for food feed. Therefore understanding drought resposes in oats will have significant impact on oat production under harsh climatic conditions. In particular, during anthesis (flowering) affect grain filling, quality yield. Here we characterised metabolite responses of two Mediterranean L.) cultivars Flega Patones stress at anthesis. the more tolerant Patones, developing grains from top (older) bottom (younger)...
Rosette morphology across Arabidopsis accessions exhibits considerable variation. Here we report a high-throughput phenotyping approach based on automatic image analysis to quantify rosette shape and dissect the underlying genetic architecture. Shape measurements of rosettes in core set Recombinant Inbred Lines from an advanced mapping population (Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross or MAGIC) derived inter-crossing 19 natural accessions. Image acquisition was scaled extract geometric...
Abstract Grain filling in cereals is complex process that determines the final grain yield and quality. Abiotic stresses can have major impact on filling. Oats ( Avena sativa L.) sensitive to drought which adversely affect productivity. In this study, we characterised responses of two Mediterranean oat cultivars Flega Patones under severe drought. Grains from top (older) bottom (younger) spikelets primary panicle were larger size response drought, particularly Patones, suggesting accelerated...
