Phenotyping and Trait Predictions: The Digest’s 2020 Multi-Slide Guide to Sorghum as Energy Crop

Take genotype + environment + management practices and you’ve got phenotyping, a measurable characteristic or trait of a plant. In this case, we look at sorghum from Purdue University’s Dr. Melba Crawford and how they are using multi-modality sensing and modeling for high throughput phenotyping of sorghum as an energy crop.

Field-based phenotyping, RGB imagery-based field phenotyping, trait predictions from LiDAR, multi-sensor predictions of complex phenotypes, biophysical models in phenotyping,  the future of phenomics, and more.
