NIAB Data Sciences for Multi-scale Plant & Crop Phenotyping Phenotyping and AI trait analysis The facility for cost-effective and scalable phenotyping from lab to the field

Lab- and field-based phenomics platforms:

• Cellular – Opera, time-series based microscope
• Tissue & organ – YieldQuant-Mobile, SeedGerm & Videometer (multispectral)
• Plant, plot & field – CropQuant-3D, AirMeasurer (RGB & multispectral), CropQuant-Air

What we do

Our focus is to develop cost-effective and scalable plant phenotyping and AI-powered trait analysis to assess yield performance, genetic gain, trait stability, and their related phenotypic variation leading to reliable molecular markers. The facility ranges from lab-based high-throughput cellular phenotyping and multispectral imaging systems, to field-based drone-, smartphone- and LiDAR-based devices, providing multi-scale phenotyping datasets to facilitate AI-powered trait analysis for agricultural and horticultural crops key to the UK.

Projects

• Multi-spectral seed imaging to identify seed quality
• Seed germination to enable vigour assessment
• AI-powered analysis to quantify key yield components
• Wheat performance genetic mapping using MAGIC
