      abstract     = {The phenoSeeder system is based on a pick-and-place robot
                      to analyze and handle individual seeds of very different
                      sizes from Arabidopsis to maize. By default, morphometric
                      traits are monitored at 3 different sensor stations. (1) At
                      a 2D-imaging station seeds are disseminated on a glass plate
                      where they are selected according to user-defined selection
                      criteria. A selected seed gets an ID and its traits
                      (projected area, length, width, color distribution) are
                      measured. (2) It is then picked up and conveyed to a
                      3D-imaging station where a series of images are taken from
                      different angles and a surface reconstruction procedure
                      delivers 3D information (volume, length, width, height,
                      etc.). (3) The seed is then carried to a balance to get the
                      actual weight which, divided by the measured volume,
                      provides seed density. Finally, the seed is directly planted
                      into substrate, sorted into storage containments according
                      to user-defined classification criteria, or individually
                      stored in a multi-well plate. This cycle is repeated for
                      each single seed. All obtained seed data including the
                      current position of a seed are stored in a database which
                      also delivers the parameters needed for the workflow of the
                      system. We want to systematically study how the different
                      seed traits correlate and which seed traits are important
                      for a developing plant of various species or genotypes under
                      optimal or adverse environmental conditions. The main
                      objective of the phenoSeeder approach is thus seed-to-plant
                      tracking which includes monitoring seed germination and
                      measurement of plant growth at early developmental stages
                      and beyond. The modular implementation of the phenoSeeder
                      system allows for easy integration of additional sensors
                      enabling measurement of additional parameters of individual
                      seeds, beside the morphometric traits described above.
                      Modalities we plan to integrate are near infra-red (NIR)
                      providing information about seed content, nuclear magnetic
                      resonance (NMR) delivering water content or biomass, or
                      X-ray CT for imaging internal seed structures allowing to
                      extract e.g. embryo or endosperm size. Due to the versatile
                      design of the phenoSeeder it can contribute to different
                      applications including better seed characterization and
                      improvement of seed quality for breeding.},
