Advances in below and above-ground phenotyping

  1. More, Better, Faster, Cheaper: practical needs for improving the rate of genetic gain Advances in below and above-ground phenotyping Vincent Vadez & Team ICRISAT Global Goods – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 29 Oct 2014
  2. Lysimetric facility at ICRISAT Morphology Functionality Shift in how we look at roots Kinetics of water uptake 2800 “small” PVC / 1600 “large” PVC Limitations / Challenges: • Capacity/automation (load cells) • 3-D in-situ Strengths: • Water use efficiency • Water extraction at key times
  3. Variation for water use efficiency • Huge genetic variation • Variants used in breeding FunctionalitySorghum Pearl millet

  5. Capacity: 4,800 plots Throughput: 2,400 plots/hour Traits: LA, Height, Leaf angle, … LeasyScan at ICRISAT Leaf canopy area and conductance
  6. Leaf area See Chapuis et al 2012 From Welcker et al 2014 Leafarea Water use Leaf canopy area Trait dissection Possible Field applications Wind + Light TºC + RH % From Deery et al 2014 Lidar scanning Leaf area response to environmental conditions Leafelongationrate Atmospheric drought Soil drought
  7. Canopy Scanning + plant transpiration = live water budget Leaf canopy conductance Load Cells Limitations / challenges: • Load cells capacity • Data management / analysis Strengths: • Throughput • Meta-data
