Abstract:In recent years, the automation of genotyping has significantly enhanced the efficiency of genome-wide association studies. Due to this development, phenotyping is now usually the rate-limiting step, especially in the field. Efforts are now focused on further automating in-field phenotyping. Here we present a GWAS study on 194 field-grown accessions of lettuce (Lactuca sativa). These accessions were non-destructively phenotyped at two time points 15 days apart using an unmanned aerial vehicle. Our high through… Show more
