E-book Origins and Drivers of Crop Phenotyping

nderstanding the phenotype of plants is essential in the context of food or biomass production from crops, for efficient use of resources such as water or nutrients or in understanding plant ecological performance. All these depend on the interaction between plant genetic makeup and the prevailing environment. Understanding multidimensional plant–environment interactions has a long history in the eco-physiological sciences. The subject gained new momentum when genomics technologies became available about three decades ago. An increasing number of plant genome projects were initiated to analyse the genetic makeup of plants. Within the last few decades, about 600 genome assemblies from different plant species have been made available in public repositories (Kersey, 2019). Crop species dominated initially but a wider range of plants, including non-domesticated species, have now been analysed. In parallel with these developments, there have been advances in technologies to modify plant genetics. Recent progress in genetic engineering –specifically CRISPR/CAS9 – provides ?...enormous power in this genetic tool, which affects us all. It has not only revolutionised basic science but also resulted in innovative crops and will lead to ground-breaking new medical treatments?, to quote Claes Gustafsson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
