Therefore, it has become ever more important for plant breeding and genetics research programs, of different resource and expertise levels, to adopt phenomics technologies. The growing open access efforts within the phenomics community is enabling initiatives
to reduce the costs of sensors and sensor platforms. The goal of this special section is to provide visibility to diverse efforts in the development of affordable hardware and software aimed at enhancing the breadth and depth in which plants are phenotyped
in experimental and applied settings.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
