Objective:
1) Develop phenotyping tools to characterize carrot early plant growth
2) Use data generated along with carrot genomic information to predict and select for improved carrot growth
Approach:
1. Apply advanced digital phenotyping technologies to generate detailed models of carrot early plant growth
2. Utilize genotypic information available on these growing plants to identify genes controlling early carrot growth.
3. Evaluate carrot growth in several diverse genetic background
