Call for contributions to a special Issue: Phenotyping functional traits in plants

Plant phenotyping has seen rapid development in methods and technologies over recent decade leading to the establishment of facilities for high throughput plant phenotyping under controlled and field conditions that can quantitatively assess different plant traits of dedicate genotypes under high throughput.

With this Special Issue we invite contribution that focus on the use of phenotyping approaches for the quantification of physiological traits under biotic and abiotic stress of crops under controlled and field conditions with the goal to understand basic plant environment interaction and translate this understanding into application in breeding or agronomy scenarios, as one of the key objectives on the way towards sustainable agriculture.
