High-throughput maize root phenotyping
The root system is important for plant adaptability to changing environments. Although the importance of the root system is well reported in the research literature there is still a considerable lack of knowledge with regard to the development of root systems per se, and how root system complexity …

Automated phenotyping of mouse social behavior
Inspired by the connections between social behavior and intelligence, I have developed a trainable system to phenotype mouse social behavior. This system is of immediate interest to researchers studying mouse models of social disorders such as depression or autism. Mice studies provide a controlled …

Phenotyping Ethnic Differences in Body Fat Depots
There are remarkable ethnic differences in the incidence of metabolic syndrome associated features; including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have suggested that South Asians (SA) present an unfavourable body fat phenotype, which includes a …

High-throughput phenotyping technology for corn ears
… can be measured using a technical procedure. Phenotyping is an important activity in plant breeding, since it gives breeders an observable representation of the plant’s genetic code, which is called the genotype. The word phenotype originates from the Greek word “phainein” which means “to …
