Crop seed phenomics: Enabling nondestructive phenotyping approaches for characterization of functional and quality traits. Plants. 12(5):1177. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants12051177. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/plants12051177 Interpretive Summary: Seeds play a critical role in ensuring food security to over 7.9 billion people globally. Consequently, the development of robust, rapid, and high-throughput methods is required for seed quality evaluation and acceleration of crop improvement. There has been considerable progress in various nondestructive phenomics methods in the past 20 years. This review highlights recent advances in seed phenomics techniques, emphasizing near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) platforms. Furthermore, the potential applications of NIRS are expected to continue rising as more seed researchers and growers successfully adopt it as a powerful nondestructive method for seed quality phenomics. It will also discuss the advantages and limitations that need to be solved for each technique. It will also discuss how each method could help breeders and industry for trait identification, measurement, classification, and screening or sorting of seed nutritive traits. Finally, it will cover future outlook on how to promote, accelerate crop improvement and reduce costs.
