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 />

Shital Dixit 11-10-2012<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 />

2. Slow growing = Ficus<br />

Watering regimes<br />

2. W2= Optimum<br />

Design<br />

1. Pepper grown with gel = PG<br />

2. Pepper grown without gel = PN<br />

3. Ficus grown with gel =FG<br />

4. Ficus grown without gel =FN<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 />
