#phenotyping — Public Fediverse posts

You want to learn how a light-induced fluorescence transient (LIFT) photosynthesis sensor on an autonomous field robot can contribute to a more efficient selection of resilient and high-yielding crop genotypes, but you don't like to read our paper? Then go check out the video on https://dx.doi.org/10.3791/69530-v 📹 🌱 🤖 #photosynthesis #phenotyping #robot #agriculturalrobotics

Improving the photosynthetic efficiency of crop plants has the potential to sustainably increase yields up to three-fold. However, conventional breeding for increased photosynthetic efficiency is tedious and slow due to a lack of reliable and high-throughput methods to assess crop photosynthetic efficiency in the field. In our most recent paper, we present a method to change this by mounting a light-induced fluorescence transient (LIFT) photosynthesis sensor onto an autonomous field robot. Check it out:

The group of Crop Science runs the new sensor configuration of the FIP (https://kp.ethz.ch/infrastructure/FIP.html) which enables the generation of highly resolved point clouds.

!!! NEW DATASET !!!

The Field Phenotyping Platform (FIP) 1.0 dataset is now available - a massive open dataset for winter #wheat research combining imaging, trait, environmental & genetic data!

📊 What's included:

- 4,000+ wheat plots across 6 years
- 153,000+ high-resolution aligned images
- 8 key traits: canopy cover, plant height, head counts, senescence, heading date, yield & protein content
- Genetic markers + environmental data
- Time-series format perfect for modeling

🎯 What it can be used for:

- #CropModeling & phenotyping method development
- Genotype-environment interaction studies
- Growth dynamics analysis
- #MachineLearning applications in agriculture
- Genomic prediction research

This comprehensive resource bridges #PlantScience and #AI communities, accelerating research in climate-adaptive agriculture 🌱

Readvertising a #vacancy for a #Python #SoftwareDeveloper with the right to work in #Australia and experience in setting up #S3 storage for use as a research #DataRepository.

https://careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/516522/appn-software-engineer-repository-services

The role will include responsibility to set up and manage the storage, including interfaces to upload packaged datasets and metadata and landing pages for data access. This is a core component in our #FAIR #data pipeline for #plant #phenotyping data.

Touché! I meant only to speak to Snowden's quote, for a violent extinction of Homo Neanderthalis probably would be biological racism, but I think there are any number of other things that their extinction could have been, like disease-burden or out-breeding.

You're right of course, the Peri-Mediterraneans were pretty cool about most things. I think they might have thought slightly ill of left-handed people.

If Snowden is making sweeping statements about "the ancients" though, I think a careful tread is advisable, if I'm right to suspect that the "ancient" Sumerians would think someone with pale skin to be sickly and frail, and the "ancient" Chinese would associate darker skin tones to be associated with manual labour.

To be explicit: (1). this has no bearing on your long held and doubtless correct view, and (2). I am *wildly* outside my wheel-house here; and I'm only really saying that such sweeping terms of generalisation make one's quotes less useful. I can't imagine Snowden cares one jot about my criticism, though! 😅

The Australian National University in #Canberra is advertising a position for a Data Lead to help deliver #FAIR #metadata and #data from their Australian #Plant #Phenotyping #Network node. They grow (mainly crop) plants under controlled conditions, measuring #environment and imaging the plants, then process the imagery to derive #trait data to support research. Data from all stages needs to be organised for long-term reuse and interoperability.

At October 28 and 29 the new #wheat experiments could be sown in the #FIP lots after a dark and wet October that didn't allow our soils to dry out sufficiently for sowing. A new European Elite set was contributed by 26 #breeders from all over Europe (Thank you so much). We planted 290 varieties including 40 Varieties of the European #PHENET wheat panel. Thanks Simon, Florent, Brigitta, Afef and Lukas for all the help.
