Genetic variability of a forage bermudagrass core collection
Bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) is an important warm-season forage grass for the South and may have value as a bioenergy feedstock. The objective of this study was to measure the genetic relatedness among entries of the Cynodon clonal forage bermudagrass core collection and seven commercial forage cultivars using plant phenotype and molecular marker data from amplified fragment length polymorphisms. ...

5 features to look for when selecting drone RGB sensors for phenotyping
Selecting a Drone to Meet Your phenotyping Needs: As drones have become better, less expensive, and easier to use, more researchers have been incorporating them into their trial assessment programs. The new generation of drones are bringing more capacity to assess new and previously inaccessible traits such as wheat head count, flower/fruit counting and classification, and phenological stage ...

The Power of Fusing 3D with Multispec
3D assessment of plants became a commonly used technology in plant phenotyping to measure morphological and architectural features of plants. Although, 3D sensors such as PlantEye can be the workhorse for every phenotyping platform, it still lacks the ability to measure changes in color or other spectral information that are an important indicator for the plants physiological ...

Genetic mapping of sheath blight resistance QTLS within tropical Japonica rice cultivars
Most commercial cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) are susceptible to sheath blight (SB), a devastating fungal disease causing significant losses in grain yield and quality. There are limited sources of genetic resistance adapted to U.S. growing conditions, and no commercial long grain cultivar of rice is currently available in the United States with a high level of SB resistance. Sheath blight ...
