7 September 2018, San Francisco: The global plant
phenotyping equipment market size is estimated to reach USD
276.86 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.,
expanding at a CAGR of 10.51% over the forecast period. Global population is
projected to surpass 9 billion by 2050, thus posing the challenge of adequate
crop production to meet rising food needs. This, in turn, is expected to open
up potential opportunities for crop improvement and plant science. However,
adequate crop production would be challenging, particularly since crop
production has been rising by approximately 1.3% per year on an average. This
is not sufficient to meet the pace of population growth. Plant phenotyping is
emerging as an effective means to overcome this challenge. Thus, the plant
phenotyping equipment market is expected to witness significant growth over the
forecast period.
Plants have different optical properties;
healthy plants transmit, emit, reflect, absorb, and fluoresce with
electromagnetic radiation in a different manner as compared to infected plants.
Imaging techniques assist in detecting these properties, particularly those
invisible to naked eye. Imaging methodologies, such as imaging spectroscopy,
infrared imaging, fluorescence imaging, and visible light imaging among others,
are increasingly being used to aggregate multi-level phenotype data. This data
ranges from macroscopic to molecular scale for a duration of a few seconds to a
few weeks.
Spectroscopy imaging helps measure
interaction of solar radiation with plants and is one of the promising
methodologies used for plant phenotyping. This methodology is suitable for
field phenotyping when used with aerial platforms. However, cost of spectral
cameras is comparatively higher. Infrared imaging technologies aid in screening
objects of internal molecular movements which release infrared radiation and
offer precise measurement and spatial resolution under altering environmental
conditions.
Fluorescence imaging is used in many areas
of plant physiology. It provides diagnostic tools to resolve heterogeneity
issue of leaf photosynthetic performance. Its applications are limited to a
single leaf or seedling levels of a model crop. Visible light imaging is easy
to use and cost-effective. This imaging system offers 2D images using a
wavelength perception similar to the human eye. The images can be used to
monitor changes in a plant’s biomass and to study numerous phenotypic
characteristics.
