The project involves the development and use of novel digital and hyperspectral imaging technologies to be used as QC tools throughout the fresh produce supply chain (from breeders to retailers). Such tools will be demonstrated in both controlled environments and in the field to allow for the characterisation and prediction of yields, nutrient content and quality characteristics such as colour, flavour and texture across the supply chain. Biochemical traits will also be correlated with sensory evaluation attributes to derive cause and effect relationships that affect consumer choice and hence commercial value. Moreover, technology developments will be complemented with genomic data to assist future developments in the field of plant breeding and the effect of environmental factors on product quality. This applied industrial research project will use different varieties of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicon) as the subject of the investigations with the potential to build applications for other commercially important genera/species.

该项目涉及开发和使用新型数字和高光谱成像技术，作为整个新鲜农产品供应链（从育种者到零售商）的质量控制工具。这些工具将在受控环境和实地进行演示，以便对整个供应链的产量、营养成分和质量特征（如颜色、风味和质地）进行表征和预测。生化性状也将与感官评价属性相关，以得出影响消费者选择并因此影响商业价值的因果关系。此外，技术发展将得到基因组数据的补充，以协助植物育种领域的未来发展和环境因素对产品质量的影响。该应用工业研究项目将使用不同品种的番茄植物（Solanum lycopersicon）作为研究对象，并有可能为其他商业上重要的属/种建立应用程序。
