APPLICATION CASE

Morphology and Color Phenotyping – Greenness Analysis

Color phenotyping delivers information about the plant surface and the colors. In particular, greenness is informative on chlorophyll abundance. Colors can also indicate stress, such as yellowing or browning that relates to wilting. Moreover, many pathogen infections are linked to characteristical colors. In combination with data on morphology of the plants, color data provide an insight in the developmental status. They can be used in genotype-phenotype studies as well as in the assessment of environmental influences or treatments.
