A New Revolution in Crop Breeding: The Era of High-Throughput Phenomics

Traditional phenomics research has trailed the high-speed development of genomics, transcriptomics, and transcriptomics, thereby restricting crop breeding and functional genomics study. To break this bottleneck, international and domestic researchers have developed various platforms for phenomics analysis with the characteristics of automation, high-precision, and high-throughput, and combined these platforms with numerous ‘omics’ research. These developments will advance a new technology revolution in the research field of crop breeding. In this review, the concepts and significance of plant phenomics are introduced briefly. Analysis on the high-throughput phenomics platform is illustrated in detail. In addition, future development in phenomics and the comprehensive utilization of large biological data are reviewed.
