TraitCapture: Genomic modelling for plant phenomics under environmental stress

该项目旨在开发软件，将植物表型组学的新的高光谱和3D生长模型与种群基因组学相结合，以识别不同环境中的遗传发育特征。全基因组关联研究的目的是随后用于鉴定致病基因。功能结构植物模型，包括遗传变异将被用来预测模拟压力环境下的生长。该研究小组联合了国际产业、澳大利亚植物表型组学机构和大学统计遗传学家。TraitCapture软件将使用适用于受控和田间环境的开放标准，使植物育种者能够预先选择适应性性状，以提高环境压力下的作物产量。

This project aims to develop software to integrate new hyper-spectral and 3D growth models of plant phenomics with population genomics to identify heritable developmental traits across varied environments. Genome wide association studies aim to then be used to identify causal genes. Functional structural plant models incorporating genetic variation will be used to predict growth under simulated stress environments. The research team unites international industry, the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility, and university statistical geneticists. TraitCapture software will use open standards applicable to both controlled and field environments enabling plant breeders to pre-select adaptive traits to increase crop productivity under environmental stress.
