Here, it is reconsider how HTP can be effectively integrated into breeding by accounting for methodologies, scale-related constraints, and technological limitations.
Abstract
High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) has advanced rapidly in recent decades, driven by technological developments across research and agricultural frameworks. Despite its success in measuring traits, it remains underutilized in field crop breeding programs. While the most critical and labor-intensive selection is conducted on heterozygous single plants or small plots at early stages, most phenotyping research focuses on stable genotypes grown in large plots. Here, we reconsider how HTP can be effectively integrated into breeding by accounting for methodologies, scale-related constraints, and technological limitations. Our focus remains on self-pollinated field crops, the predominant global food source. In light of climate change and food security needs, improving the integration of breeding and phenomics can accelerate genetic and technological advances in developing elite varieties.
It is argued that current phenotyping methods may be excellent tools for functional validation of previously discovered traits but have limited predictive value in stress biology, and proposed that bridging the mismatch between omics technologies and phenotyping is the only way to account for cell‐specific operation of...

Perennial grains represent a promising frontier for sustainable agriculture, but breeding progress is constrained by the accessibility of genotyping and the difficulty of evaluating complex traits expressed for multiple years after establishment across heterogeneous environments. Phenomic selection may help address the...

It is revealed that many crucial agronomic traits are polygenic in their mode of inheritance, and the hidden genetic links make selection weak and uncertain, and the application of molecular tools such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing, speed breeding, pan-genomics, artificial intelligence, and high-throughput phenomics pro...

Plant breeding has progressed from phenotype-based selection to increasingly precise genetic and agronomic interventions. Advances in molecular breeding, genome engineering, and crop management have improved productivity, but have also promoted the widespread use of genetically uniform cultivars optimized for controlle...
This review evaluates SB against the conventional pedigree framework; synthesises validated environmental parameters and crop-specific protocols; synthesises validated environmental parameters and crop-specific protocols; and examines principal SB applications in hybridisation, genomic selection, disease-resistance scr...

Wheat is one of the world’s main crops. Its improvement is pivotal given the threat of climate change and the growing population. However, enhancing breeding efficiency and improving wheat are challenging due to strong genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions and the biological complexity underlying the wheat genome...
