Conclusions for project 1<br />
Research question must be clearly addressed to design<br />
the right experiment<br />
Parameters measured some times might not be<br />
correlated to the desired trait/effect but can be<br />
additional effects measured on the plants<br />
Digital phenotypic data analysis is very dynamic and<br />
can be very trait specific<br />

Slide 18
Project 1: Commercial relevance<br />
Seed priming treatment A showed 5% higher growth<br />
compared to its control and counter standard treatment.<br />
(1-1.5% in root yield in field is of commercial relevance)<br />
Image analysis of the first 2-3 weeks after germination in<br />
sugarbeet might even show higher differences between<br />
treatments.<br />
Uniform and faster germination (>30%) is of commercial<br />
relevance<br />

Conclusions for project 2<br />
• PRS gel based system does not enhances plant<br />
growth<br />
• Plant growth speed variation: Observed only in<br />
pepper but only in combination with water regime<br />
• PRS system allows plants to use both water and<br />
nutrients more efficiently (35% less water in ficus)<br />
• Digital phenotyping data allows to study the problem<br />
in dynamic manner.<br />
Shital Dixit 11-10-2012<br />
29
Commercial relevance of PRS system<br />
PRS system can claim that plants grown on their<br />
medium are more water and nutrient efficient (35% in<br />
ficus and 8% in pepper)<br />
System can be used to grow plants where water is a<br />
scarce resource e.g<br />
in dry and arid regions<br />
Water quality is poor to grow plants<br />
Maintaining plants longer without watering, thereby<br />
reducing manual costs for watering<br />

PhenoFab ® summary<br />
PhenoFab ® has:<br />
1. gained experience in different crops and relevant<br />
traits<br />
2. overcomed image analysis and data analysis<br />
challenges to greater extent, hence speed up the<br />
project duration.<br />
3. generated output towards creating commercial<br />
value in crops<br />
