High-throughput plant phenotyping: a role for metabolomics?
Abstract:
Advanced facilities for automated phenotyping have already been established but there is a growing demand to integrate additional sensing modalities to allow deep phenotyping. Ongoing developments in automated (noninvasive) metabolomics...

High-Resolution Analysis of Growth and Transpiration of Quinoa Under Saline Conditions
Abstract:
The Plantarray 3.0 phenotyping platform® was used to monitor the growth and water use of the quinoa varieties Pasto and selRiobamba under salinity (0–300 mM NaCl). Salinity reduced the cumulative...

Recent developments and potential of robotics in plant eco-phenotyping
Abstract:
Automated acquisition of plant eco-phenotypic information can serve as a decision-making basis for precision agricultural management and can also provide detailed insights into plant growth status, pest management, water and...

Reciprocal cybrids reveal how organellar genomes affect plant phenotypes
Abstract:
Assessment of the impact of variation in chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA (collectively termed the plasmotype) on plant phenotypes is challenging due to the difficulty in separating their effect from nuclear-derived...

Faster plant growth through more efficient photosynthesis
Abstract:
As a result of climate change, the amount of arable land is shrinking, while the world population is on the rise. This is why Wageningen researchers are studying ways to...

Genetic Loci Associated with Early Salt Stress Responses of Roots
Abstract:
Salinity is a devastating abiotic stress accounting for major crop losses yearly. Plant roots can strikingly grow away from high-salt patches. This response is termed halotropism and occurs through auxin...

Beneficial microbes going underground of root immunity
Abstract:
Plant roots interact with an enormous diversity of commensal, mutualistic, and pathogenic microbes, which poses a big challenge to roots to distinguish beneficial microbes from harmful ones. Plants can effectively...
Photosynthesis, the greatest and most fundamental source of power, remains largely untapped at a time when we face enormous challenges in terms of food, energy and climate change. So why...
