Nighttime fluorescence phenotyping reduces environmental variability for photosynthetic traits and enables the identification of candidate loci in maize
These results highlight the effectiveness of phenotyping photosynthetic traits at night in reducing environmental noise and enhancing the discovery of genomic intervals related to photosynthesis. While nighttime data collection may not be applicable for all photosynthetic traits, it offers a promising avenue for advancing our understanding of the genetic variation of photosynthesis in modern crop species.
