Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain. [PDF]
Trends Plant Sci, 2018 Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenotyping is increasingly perceived as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs. Field phenotyping must be integrated into a wider context than just choosing the correct selection traits, deployment tools, evaluation platforms, or basic data-management methods.
