  Abstract: Physiological and developmental traits that vary over time are difficult to phenotype under relevant growing conditions. In this light, we developed a novel system for phenotyping dynamic traits in the field. System performance was evaluated on 25 Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) cultivars grown in 2011 at Maricopa, Arizona. Field-grown plants were irrigated under well watered and water-limited conditions, with measurements taken at different times on 3 days in July and August. The system carried four sets of sensors to measure canopy height, reflectance and temperature simultaneously on four adjacent rows, enabling the collection of phenotypic data at a rate of 0.84ha h-1. Measurements of canopy height, normalised difference vegetation index and temperature all showed large differences among cultivars and expected interactions of cultivars with water regime and time of day. Broad-sense heritabilities (H2)were highest for canopy height (H 2=0.86-0.96), followed by the more environmentally sensitive normalised difference vegetation index (H2=0.28-0.90) and temperature (H2=0.01-0.90) traits. We also found a strong agreement (r 2=0.35-0.82) between values obtained by the system, and values from aerial imagery and manual phenotyping approaches. Taken together, these results confirmed the ability of the phenotyping system to measure multiple traits rapidly and accurately. Journal compilation © CSIRO 2014.

  The Field Scanner System located at the Maricopa Agricultural Center is a national high-throughput phenotyping platform utilized in the TERRA-REF project to generate publicly available data on traits of interest for diverse sets of germplasm for target crops. One component of the platform is the chlorophyll fluorescence imaging system, which provides non-invasive measurements of photosystem II (PSII) activity on dark-adapted plants at the plot level. Here we report on proof-of-concept data sets to document the sensitivity of the semi-automated imaging system to detect responses of sorghum and durum wheat plants to abiotic stresses. Depending on positioning distance between plots, approximately 56 plots can be measured per hour, capturing an imaging area per plot of 1 sq m at 0.7 m above plant canopy with a frame rate of 100 images per s and a range of intensity settings from 0-7000 µmol m-2 s-1.
