abstract = {One of the current challenges in plant biology is the
development of quantitative phenotyping approaches to link
the genotype and the environment to plant structural,
functional, and yield characteristics in order to meet the
growing demands for sustainable food, feed, and fuel. The
genotype of a plant consists of all of the hereditary
information within the individual, whilst the phenotype,
which represents the morphological, physiological,
anatomical, and developmental characteristics, is the result
of the interaction between the genotype and the environment.
Understanding this interaction is one of the major
challenges in plant sciences. In plant breeding, the
ultimate goal is the improvement of traits of agricultural
importance related to disease resistance, high yields, and
the plant’s ability to grow in unfavourable environmental
conditions. Currently, breeding approaches produce an annual
yield increase of approximately $1\%$ for major crops, which
is below the over $2\%$ increase needed to meet the global
demands for food by 2050 (Ray et al., 2013).Rapid
developments in plant molecular biology and in
molecular-based breeding techniques have resulted in an
increasing number of species being sequenced and large
collections of mutants, accessions, and recombinant lines
allowing detailed analysis of gene functions.
High-definition genotyping can now be carried out on
thousands of plants in an automated way at continuously
decreasing costs, thereby facilitating association genetics
and the determination of multi-parental quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) (Poland and Rife, 2012). For transcriptomic,
proteomic, and metabolomic analyses large, often robotized,
platforms are available allowing detailed characterization
of the biochemical status of plants at a reasonable cost
(Ehrhardt and Frommer, 2012). By contrast, an understanding
of the link between genotype and phenotype has progressed
more slowly and is the major limiting step in},
