Crop yield must urgently be sustainably increased to accommodate a rising global population and anticipated climate change in the coming decades, in the face of plant stresses and limited resources [1]. Conventional crop breeding is limited by phenotypic selection and breeding efficiency. Crop phenotyping is defined as the application of protocols and methodologies to obtain a specific trait phenotype, ranging from whole plant or canopy level to cellular level, associated with plant biochemistry, function, or structure [2],[3]. Genomics-assisted breeding advances food security, but the crop breeding community needs more effective ways to study the relationship between phenotype and genotype. Although high-throughput genotyping is available at low cost, crop phenotyping and related data management and analysis remain relatively expensive. High-throughput crop phenotyping methods have received increasing attention for their potential for using genomic resources for the genetic improvement of crop yield. They provide powerful tools for measuring physiological and agronomic trait phenotypes, quantifying and monitoring large genetically defined populations in field experiments and breeding nurseries on multiple temporal and spatial scales [4],[5],[6],[7],[8]. To do this, they apply advanced robotics, high-tech sensors, data processing systems, and images. Several new bioinformatic platforms include multi-dimensional, large-scale trait phenotype datasets and genotypic and omics information. Gene functions and environmental responses can now be dissected with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution using combined genotyping, phenotyping, and multi-omics data. This ability will help to overcome the limitation of incremental improvements in crop yield. The aim of this special issue is to investigate the latest innovative research in remote sensing technologies, sensor development, technological platforms, and applications for estimating crop trait phenotype based on multisource data streams and imagery. The special issue titled “Crop phenotyping studies with application to crop monitoring” is launched. Here we summarize these papers according to the classification of topics and add our perspectives.
