"The demand for stress-resistant crops is increasing day-by-day. In fact, they have become invaluable for our food security. Thus, we need to help farmers maintain high crop yields despite the increasing instances of soil degradation, nutrient depletion, and water scarcity all around the globe. Agronomists have been working towards the development of stress-resistant crops since the last few decades. One of the bottlenecks which they face in the process is the accurate measurement of plant traits."
In this blog article, Ankita Roy, a PhD Candidate from the Bucksch Lab at University of Georgia, USA has attempted to elucidate the importance of plant phenotyping and it's significance as an alternate career-track in India.
