Abstract:
Faster and more efficient breeding cycle is not an option to deal with unpredictable and fast global climate changes. Phenomics for collecting huge number of individuals in accurate manner could be an answer to solve this problem. We collected image data to measure plant height and manual data for shoot length to be compared. QTLs clustered of plant height and shoot length were detected in 2-week old seedlings, which was consistent with many other reports using various genetic resources in matured stage. Further, these traits are highly correlated with yield by pleiotropism or tight linkage of those traits. It implies the "phenome-assisted selection" can be applied for yield trait in rice in the very early stage to shorten the breeding cycle significantly in fast but low-cost manner.
