Abstract: Plant phenotyping enables noninvasive quantification of plant structure andfunction and interactions with environments. High-capacity phenotypingreaches hitherto inaccessible phenotypic characteristics. Diverse, challenging,and valuable applications of phenotyping have originated among scientists,prebreeders, and breeders as they study the phenotypic diversity of geneticresources and apply increasingly complex traits to crop improvement.Noninvasive technologies are used to analyze experimental and breedingpopulations.We cover the most recent research in controlled-environmentand field phenotyping for seed, shoot, and root traits. Select field phenotypingtechnologies have become state of the art and show promise for speedingup the breeding process in early generations.We highlight the technologiesbehind the rapid advances in proximal and remote sensing of plants in fields.We conclude by discussing the new disciplines working with the phenotypingcommunity: data science, to address the challenge of generating FAIR(findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data, and robotics, to applyphenotyping directly on farms.
