A multi-environment phenotyping site for biotech plants

该项目旨在建立两个独特的设施，以帮助评估转基因或基因编辑的作物和谷物。第一个是最先进的现场，预计将通过远程传感器，表型分析平台和环境操纵能力将生物技术现场试验成本降低10-100倍，以降低风险并模拟广泛的现场条件。第二个目标是提供商业谷物加工，以改善营养和质量分析。预期的收益和成果包括加速将基础研究成果转化为商业育种计划，计算机视觉和机器学习在远程农业中的新应用，以及为研究人员提供更多的培训机会。

This project aims to establish two unique facilities that aid evaluation of genetically modified or gene edited crop plants and grain. The first, a state-of-the-art field site, expects to reduce biotech field trial costs by 10–100 times with remote sensors, phenotyping platforms, and capacity for environmental manipulation to reduce risk and simulate a broad range of field conditions. The second aims to provide commercial grain processing to improve nutrition and quality analysis. Expected benefits and outcomes include accelerated translation of fundamental research findings to commercial breeding programs, novel applications for computer vision and machine learning in remote agriculture, and enhanced training opportunities for researchers.
