FieldDino enables rapid, high-throughput in-field phenotyping of stomatal traits with 97.1% detection accuracy across 200 wheat genotypes.
- Why it matters: Understanding stomatal anatomy and physiology is crucial for improving crop yield and resilience to abiotic stresses, but traditional methods are slow and labor-intensive, hindering large-scale breeding efforts.
- What they did: The approach combines handheld porometry, in situ epidermal imaging with a digital microscope and leaf clip, and automated deep-learning analysis using YOLOv8-M trained on field images, allowing measurements in under 15 seconds.
- The result: FieldDino captures diverse stomatal traits at scale, facilitating research and breeding for stress resilience by accelerating data collection and analysis in real-world field conditions.
