Development of new corn varieties accelerates with 'automatic analysis' of corn information.

Utilizing phenotypic expression technology High-resolution image information storage Analysis that used to take a minimum of 3 people and about 3 months now possible in 2 seconds, significantly reducing time and labor Improvement in the accuracy of phenotypic data analysis Speed of new variety development follows The introduction of a method that automatically analyzes the shape and color information of corn seeds and cobs is expected to contribute to shortening the period for developing new corn varieties. The National Institute of Agricultural Science and the Corn Research Institute of Gangwon Province (hereinafter referred to as the Corn Research Institute) recently held an on-site evaluation meeting for corn shape and color analysis technology utilizing phenotypic expression technology. The corn shape and color analysis technology utilizing phenotypic expression technology (hereinafter referred to as phenotypic analysis technology) measures the weight of corn cobs placed on a ...
