Phenotyping is the bottleneck in genomics.

• Sequences of Arabidopsis, Rice, Sorghum, poplar, tomato, maize etc
• Genotyping capacities for 1000s of genotypes
• Large collections of RILs, mutants, accessions

Is this the proper way to address the problem ? (defined by a need, not by a biological question) Are "genotyping" and "phenotyping" parallel activities ?

The 'problem' is that we can now measure traits in1000s of plants in a robotised way

We need to refine biological questions avoiding reinventing the wheel

Modelling can help...
