Image Analysis for Phenotyping participant Yuta Miyoshi

Understanding carbon translocation has transformed my approach to optimizing crop yield and quality, making it a focal point in my research.

Motivated by his work in plant physiology, Yuta Miyoshi joined the Phenotyping course to explore advanced imaging techniques.


The course on plant phenotyping has been transformative for my research. I found the exploration of 3D vision and spectral imaging particularly valuable. The ability to analyse carbon within a plant body is a game changer, as understanding carbon balance is essential for studying translocation.

One exciting avenue I’m pursuing involves integrating spectral imaging with our PETIS (Positron Emission Tracer Imaging System). By utilising radioactive carbon radiation, we can detect gamma rays within the plant, providing unprecedented insights into carbon translocation. This innovative approach not only enhances our understanding of plant physiology but also has the potential to significantly impact crop yield and quality.

Overall, this course has equipped me with the tools and knowledge to push the boundaries of plant research.
