Magnetic resonance for the digitization of plants
The aim of this project is to combine the innovative power of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with current developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and to jointly establish new methods and digital tools for plant breeding. As a contribution to “value chains of agricultural crops”, a new dimension of phenotyping will be opened up for all three focus topics (cereals, sugar beet, pea). The project brings together partners from bioinformatics, plant research and industry. The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (Köthen) is contributing digitization concepts. The Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) contributes expertise in plant research and the MRI technology platform. Business partners are the plant breeders of KWS LOCHOW GmbH and the start-up company Senserior UG. Both companies are very interested in the direct application of MRI/KI tools. The digitalization of plant value chains planned here has great potential for the generation of new services, products and ultimately jobs in the Central German region of Saxony-Anhalt.
