BloomSight: An ultra-high-frequency phenotyping framework for diurnal flowering dynamics in japonica and indica rice to enable genetic dissection and hybrid-breeding applications
) and several repeatedly identified unknown loci (one of these loci has been recently verified by other groups), demonstrating the value of the BloomSight framework. Taken together, we believe that BloomSight provides an ultra-high-frequency framework for diurnal flowering phenotyping, enabling the measurement of biological meaningful floral traits with minute-level resolution that can enable flowering-related developmental studies and hybrid-breeding applications in rice and more broadly benefit the plant and crop research community.
