capacity to improve how plants make use of sunlight, water and nutrients to maximise yield will require tools and methods to measure complex plant traits. These traits are hard to measure, but if we could measure them cost-effectively, accurately and efficiently,
it would enable development of superior new varieties and improve outcomes from agronomic trials. These changes are fundamental to solving grand challenges like improving drought tolerance, fertiliser use efficiency, and ultimately, yield.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
