EVOLVES Activity 3- Genomics and phenomics of visual quality traits in lentil

EVOLVES Activity 3- Genomics and phenomics of visual quality traits in lentil

Developing new tools for rapidly phenotyping visual quality traits with the intent to better understand the genetics and develop markers for use in the breeding program

3a. Digital imaging of seed visual quality characteristics

3b. Implementation of high-resolution spectral measurements for high throughput screening 

Deliverables from Activity 3:

·         A high throughput seed imaging system for faster and more accurate quantification of seed quality traits

·         Molecular markers for monitoring of desired seed quality traits in the breeding program
