3. Quantitative or qualitative data?
Phenome
Metabolome
Proteome
Transcriptome
Genome
Still many studies give only
qualitative data for phenotypic
properties, while underlying
biochemistry and molecular
biology of course is given in a
quantitative manner.
5. Do we need numerical phenotypic data?
Regardless how you modify the
crop, you are interested in the
resulting phenotypes, and you
need to quantify the success of
modification!
