Summary

Description

This book provides a series of comprehensive summaries highlighting the emerging achievements in the fields of plant high‑throughput phenotyping that leads to constructing functional phenomics, one of the essential components of plant functional genomics. It presents broad aspects of methods, applications, and future directions. It offers an efficient way for readers to overview this crucial topic to realize the concept as a whole, to advance the design of their future experiments, and to inspire the exploration of the knowledge, which eventually leads to better crop development in the future by scientists, plant biologists, and crop breeders. It covers advanced tools for studying functional phenomics, including artificial intelligence, imaging, remote sensing, robotics, and aerial vehicle technologies, to empower crop speed breeding, particularly in the development of stress‑tolerant future crops. The knowledge of this book supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to develop climate‑smart and sustainable agriculture for achieving zero hunger globally.
