Great job by @mikhammers on this paper, combining simple phenotyping with complex modeling to predict wheat spike characteristics in wheat. Funded by @WheatCAP #openaccess acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

Phenotyping and predicting wheat spike characteristics using image analysis and machine learning

High-throughput phenotyping methods are needed to make larger quantities of phenotypic data accessible to researchers and plant breeders. Imaging is valuable for high-throughput phenotyping and can...

Proud mentor moment! Camilo was our REU student this summer funded by @UNL_Phenomics and @WheatCAP. He worked with @Syd_Graham to develop a phenotyping method for early gen solid stem screening. Not only did he win the poster comp for our group, he won the whole dang thing!
