Overview of the approaches targeted with the Heliaphen phenotyping platform. This figure illustrates how we used the phenotyping platform to (1) grow diverse genetic material under designed stress scenarios and measure key ecophysiological traits and plant water status (light beige box), (2) conduct genetic and genomic studies on measured phenotypes (pink box) to identify gene functions, and (3) estimate crop simulation parameters based on the measured phenotypes to be used in simulation studies. The simulation study allows the characterization of abiotic stress responses at the crop level (envirotyping) and the evaluation of genotype value (performance and stress tolerance) in diverse cropping conditions (blue box). Water stress is indicated by the fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSW). Codename of experiments are specified in the dotted boxes.
