Course content
The course focuses on modern methods of plant phenotyping with an emphasis on biological aspects, the use of green technologies, and applications in precision agriculture. Syllabus: - Introduction to plant phenotyping and precision agriculture: history and development, explanation of basic concepts - Plant cultivation: from field conditions to explant cultures - Biological basis of phenotyping: morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits and their evaluation - Phenotyping under stress conditions: abiotic and biotic stresses, plant defense responses - Principles, methods, and technologies used in phenotyping: Spectral reflectance and transmittance, optical indices Chlorophyll fluorescence Thermal imaging, hyperspectral analysis Automated systems - Phenotyping in precision agriculture: crop condition mapping, crop cultivation optimization - Green technologies and sustainability: breeding of resistant varieties, impacts of climate change
