Editor's Notes
Good afternoon. I am Haruki Ishikawa. I am honor to have the opportunity to talk today. I will show you a phenotyping example, especially nutritional and end-use quality topic.
Plant phenotyping is the comprehensive assessment of complex plant traits such as growth, development, tolerance, resistance, architecture, physiology, ecology, yield, and the basic measurement of individual quantitative parameters that form the basis for the more complex traits. Examples for such direct measurement parameters are ***. These phenotyping parameters were mostly based on experience and intuition, in a process where measurement and interpretation were not separated. As you know, there are various phenotyping methods and these are characteristically designed in each traits and/or interest.
Modern techniques for crop improvement rely on both DNA sequencing and accurate quantification of plant traits to identify genes and germplasm of interest. With rapid advances in DNA sequencing technologies, plant phenotyping is now a bottleneck in advancing crop yields. Therefore, high-throughput phenotyping is demanded. ‘High-throughput' is a classification that is relative to the effort associated with the measurement. Throughput is defined a performance per unit time. So, here high-throughput phenotyping is defined as technology that can measure minimally hundreds of plants per day.
Then, at the field, the measurement based on experience and intuition has limitation. An optical measurement technique is a key technology for the high-throughput phenotyping.
A population on the order of hundreds allows for analysis of mutant populations, detection of QTLs, and discovery of gene by environment associations.
Planteye, its 3D leaser scanning system can scan 5000 plants per hr. Leaf size, leaf angle, number of leaf, highest and various parameter you can choice.
Other optical measurement technique, especially imaging techniques already introduced by Isamal, Sato, and Ryo. Also, Bussie already mentioned about nutritional study. So, here, I will show you a example of nutritional phenotyping with spectroscopy. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, so called FTIR, is a method of measuring an infrared absorption or transmission spectrum. As you know, this technique use a optics. Therefore, the measurement is rapid, low-cost, labor-effective and repeatable. And, what we can do
Lets see the case study, I will show you our current study. We tried to determine Nitrogen content in the cowpea seed using by FTIR.
The methodology of this study is same as quantitative spectrographic analysis. Sample preparation, Establishment of calibration curve, and its validation. After those, we can begin quantitative analysis.
The most important step is establishment of calibration model and its validation. Because, the density of compound of the crop sample is unknown, it differ from the general quantitative analysis.
Therefore, chemometrics technique is required, and gather as much sample as possible with different condition.
As you know well, the applicability and accuracy of calibration depend on the population used in calibration model development.
Genetic variation in the chemical composition of samples greatly influences the accuracy of the models developed, depending on the type of sample, and target traits.
Also, environmental factors such as growing location, weather conditions, and soil fertility may affect the chemical composition of samples and decrease the accuracy of the calibrations.
To this purpose, we prepared 251 germplasm * 3 locations * 2 fertilizer conditions * 2 years = 3012 samples.
And the nitrogen content of these samples determined using by NC analyzer. We generated 925 data set for calibration model.
Then, spectra data acquisition performed by FTIR and its analysis, model development and validation were done.
In the results, obtained MIRS calibration model showed a reasonable balance between accuracy and applicability in predicting the N contents of grain samples collected from different agro-ecological zones of West Africa.
Our findings also suggest that MIR information may be useful in increasing the robustness of calibration models for quantitative analysis regardless of the environmental effects.
After the model development, we can use this for further N content analysis in the cowpea seed. When you bring your interest seed, we can provide you the nitrogen content in the seed within 2min.
Of course, it is depend on the technician, but also we can predict, according to data acquisition time, we can handle 150 samples per day.
Lets see further application of FTIR. A key advance in high throughput phenotyping is the capability to non-destructively capture plant traits. In the nutritional study, if the seed screening possible with non-destructive FTIR, breeder can plant the seed after analysis. Now, establishment of the calibration model with non-destructive technique is in progress.
I wish this presentation could contribute further discussion of phenotyping. Thank you for your attention.
I would like to omit details, but just right to the point.
In the optics, light is not only visible region and its also means electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning, and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. Infra-red spectroscopy handles the optical radiation of the region of IR.
There are 3 regions in the IR region. Especially, FTIR use middle and near infrared regions. The characteristic of each region are listed here. Most important thing is here. MIR is suitable for the sample without water such as powder or after freeze dry, and high resolution characteristic analysis. NIR is suitable for the non-destructive analysis such as whole crop.
