wide gap exists between the successes achieved by the crop physiology community and the utilization of these by the crop breeding community. This has limited our progress towards achieving the desired levels of yield and quality enhancement in crops. Image
and cyber physical systems-based high throughput phenotyping systems provides us an opportunity to tackle complex physiological traits and develop a breeding strategy for enhancing yield gains even under changing climate. My talk will deal with the following
examples to highlight strategies to develop tools that can help efforts to breed varieties with high yield potential and climate resilience. Example 1 – Exploring stomatal dynamics in sorghum to develop water use efficient and high yielding sorghum hybrids,
based on target population of environments and Example 2 – Developing high night temperature tolerant wheat cultivars using field-based heat tents integrated with cyber physical systems. I will also highlight ongoing work on addressing flower abortion and
pod/boll drop in cotton and soybeans and finally an insight into designing panicle architecture in sorghum to enhance yield potential. Towards the end, I will provide my opinions on how to tackle difficult to phenotype traits and extending the technology to
benefit the crop improvement programs.</span><span style="font-family: docs-Calibri; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left; display: inline !important; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
