Illuminating duckweed: hyperspectral reflectance highlights a predictive ceiling for accurate determination of biomass
Duckweed is a fast growing aquatic plant with strong potential as a sustainable, high protein crop that can be produced without expanding agricultural land. However, substantial trait variation necessitates rapid selection proxies to identify genotypes with high growth, biomass and pigment content while simultaneously suited to low input, controlled environments. Although hyperspectral…
