A Survey on Plant Phenotype

Plant phenotype is a term used to describe the characteristics, such as height, biomass, growth, development, tolerance, resistance, architecture, ecology, yield, leaf shape and so on. A perceptible depiction of the plant’s phenomenal, ontogenetically, physiological and biochemical properties refers to plant phenotyping. In this paper we study about different types of phenotyping. Different type of imaging techniques like visible light imaging, fluorescence imaging is discussed for obtaining high throughput phenotyping. They are used to collect data for quantitative growth, yield and adapt to stress.
