Abstract

In the evolving landscape of plant breeding methodologies, the focus has shifted towards integrating phenomic determination as a complement to genomic choice. This paradigmatic shift seeks to harness the comprehensive phenotypic data of plants to predict their breeding value and improve selection efficiency. Phenomic determination leverages advanced imaging technologies and high-throughput phenotyping to capture detailed phenotypic traits, offering a nuanced understanding of plant performance under various environmental conditions. In contrast, genomic choice emphasizes the predictive power of genetic markers and molecular data to expedite breeding outcomes. By juxtaposing these approaches, this paper explores how phenomic determination introduces a novel dimension to traditional genomic selection strategies, potentially enhancing breeding precision and accelerating genetic gains in agriculture.
