This action funds a National Plant Genome Initiative Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2012. The fellowship supports a research and training plan in a host laboratory for the Fellow to focus his studies in plant genomics with an emphasis on quantitative genetics, modern breeding approaches, and bioinformatics. The title of the research and training plan for this fellowship to Joshua R. Puzey is "Connecting Genetics and Form: Developing an Automated High-throughput Phenotyping Platform using Mimulus". The host institution for the fellowship is Duke University (North Carolina) and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. John Willis. Co-faculty mentors are Drs. John Kelly (University of Kansas, KS) and Sharon Gerbode (Harvey Mudd College, CA).Linking genotype and environment to phenotype is a fundamental goal of quantitative genetics. As a first step, this project will develop an automated phenotyping platform using a set of 600 developmental variable lines in Mimulus. The primary design criteria for this platform are limiting cost while maximizing configurability. High levels configurability will allow researchers and breeders working on specific questions in other systems to alter this platform to their specific needs. Algorithms traditionally used for astronomy and colloidal physics image analysis will be employed for plant time-lapse image analysis.Training objectives include computational science, physics, quantitative genetics and plant genomics. Broader impacts include capacity-building and advanced training for students from the United States to engage in interdisciplinary research in plant improvement and associated sciences such as physiology, quantitative genetics, and computational biology.

该行动为2012财年的国家植物基因组计划博士后研究奖学金提供资金。该研究金支持在一个主办实验室的研究和培训计划，使研究员将研究重点放在植物基因组学上，重点是数量遗传学，现代育种方法和生物信息学。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划标题为约书亚·R。Puzey是“连接遗传学和形式：使用Mimulus开发自动化高通量表型分析平台”。 该研究金的主办机构是杜克大学（北卡罗来纳州），赞助科学家是约翰·威利斯博士。 联合教师导师是博士.约翰凯利（堪萨斯大学，堪萨斯州）和沙龙Gerbode（哈维穆德学院，加利福尼亚州）.连接基因型和环境表型是数量遗传学的一个基本目标。 作为第一步，该项目将使用Mimulus中的一组600个发育可变系开发自动化表型分析平台。 该平台的主要设计标准是在最大化可配置性的同时限制成本。高水平的可配置性将允许研究人员和育种者在其他系统中处理特定问题，以改变这个平台，以满足他们的特定需求。传统上用于天文学和胶体物理学图像分析的算法将用于植物延时图像分析。培训目标包括计算科学，物理学，数量遗传学和植物基因组学。 更广泛的影响包括为美国学生提供能力建设和高级培训，使他们能够从事植物改良和相关科学（如生理学、数量遗传学和计算生物学）的跨学科研究。
