Abstract: Individual plants vary in their ability to respond to environmental changes. The plastic response of a plant enhances its ability to avoid environmental constraints, and hence supports growth and reproduction, and evolutionary and agricultural success. Plant phenotyping can provide quantitative and novel above and below ground plant traits in response to dynamic changes in the environment. Identifying plant traits which are responsive dynamically, and beneficial in abiotic and biotic interactions, needs non-invasive measurements because phenotypic responses are continuous and mostly non-linear in space and time. Dynamic, plastic phenotypic traits cannot be captured with destructive measurements and therefore today’s phenotyping technologies offer a large advantage over previous phenotyping methods. At IBG-2 we develop and provide non-invasive 2D and 3D imaging technologies for a holistic characterization of plant dynamic performance in controlled conditions and in the field. This includes specialised cultivation systems, precise environmental monitoring, and information technology for data management for large numbers of plants.The presentation will include examples of phenotyping of plant plasticity, to provide evidence that non-invasive phenotyping technologies enable the investigation of plant responses to abiotic-biotic interactions to accelerate crop improvement in a modern crop management.
