Gatersleben/ Potsdam - Advances in high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms together with genotyping technologies have revolutionized breeding of varieties with desired traits relying on genomic prediction. Yet, we lack understanding of the expression of multiple traits at different time points across the entire growth period of the plant. A research team, including IPK Leibniz Institue, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and the University of Potsdam, has developed a computational approach to solve this problem. The results were published in the journal “Nature Plants”. more
