Abstract

Plant Phenomics studies the phenotypic dynamics that form plant phenotypes by systematically measuring traits using phenotyping methods from the quantum to the ecosystem levels. It has emerged as an interdisciplinary field advancing sensing, computation, and plant biology. However, Plant Phenomics has lacked a unifying framework that integrates its community's core concepts from the formal and life sciences. Central to this framework is the definition of the phenome as a set of phenes that govern phenotypic dynamics across all spatial and temporal scales of biological and ecological organization and in interaction with the environment. This paradigm moves beyond gene-centric views and recognizes the equal importance of all spatial and temporal scales in forming plant phenotypes, advancing Plant Phenomics as a data-driven discipline and its emerging profession, the plant phenomicist.
