As HIPHEN approaches its 10th-anniversary milestone in 2024, it stands as a leading service provider in the digital phenotyping domain, catering to the diverse needs of the Agro-Industrial sector worldwide. Our clientele includes seed breeders, universities, and agro-processing firms.

This presentation aims to review the evolving objectives and significant achievements of the phenotyping community in wheat, particularly leveraging emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Utilizing concrete examples spanning all breeding stages that HIPHEN helped implement across the globe, we will illustrate how digital measurements add tangible value. This will encompass plot quality assessment, yield correction, phenomic prediction, and phenological-based breeding strategies.

Additionally, we will explore the array of measurement tools available to breeders to enhance assessment accuracy, ranging from full High Throughput Phenotyping platforms such as the one recently implemented in ICARDA or UM6P (Morrocco), ground vehicles (PhenoMobile®) such as one implemented in France with ARVALIS, drones (UAVs), satellites, handheld devices, to even smartphones.

An emphasis will be placed on how the use cases and technologies can combine to maximize value. This talk will also provide insights into emerging technologies/solutions that will be readily available in the near future.
