A demonstration of how new technologies can be used in 21st-century crop breeding comes from newly published research that combines Laser Scanning and 3D printing to create a detailed 3D model of a sugar beet plant. Taking the next step beyond having genetic information to guide intelligent breeding, the 3D plant models here capture the essential characteristics of the above-ground parts of the sugar beet plant and can be used for AI-assisted crop improvement pipelines.
The sensors need to be presented with data on a “standard plant” that encompass all relevant characteristics, including also more complex, 3-dimensional traits such as the angle at which the leaves are oriented. Having an actual “artificial plant” as a real-size reference is therefore preferable to just having data in the computer, or a flat, 2D representation.
