A plant selection apparatus has a storage means for storing a plurality of image datasets of plants and associated plant information including at least one of genotype information of the plants, phenotype information of the plants, and pedigree information of the plants. A selection unit preselects a subset of the plants. A display device displays the image datasets of the subset of the plants. A tracking unit generates observation information including information on which of the subset of the plants is observed, and the storage means is configured for storing the observation information. A training unit trains a classifier based on the observation information, the input selection, and the plant information including said at least one of the genotype information, the phenotype information, and the pedigree information.

Efficient plant selection

A system for monitoring plants comprises an input unit, an output unit, and a processor that provides () image data () for a plurality of plants, each image data being associated with an individual plant. It associates () the image data () of each plant with corresponding plant characteristic data (). It selects () a subset of the plants based on the plant characteristic data (). It generates () a plurality of computer graphics objects corresponding to the selected plants. It applies () the image data () of each selected plant in form of a computer graphics texture to the corresponding computer graphics object. It determines () a position of each computer graphics object in a three-dimensional space of a computer graphics scene. It creates () a computer graphics rendering of the scene. It displays () the computer graphics rendering.

Monitoring plants

The invention relates to a kit for use in a method for detecting genetic variation in one or more members of a population, comprising (a) an adaptor adapted for ligation to a plurality of nucleic acid fragments and (b) a set of primers for PCR amplification having a 5'-end and a 3&#x2032;-end, wherein at least one of the primers comprises one or more selective nucleotides at the 3&#x2032; end, and wherein the adaptor and/or at least one of the primers comprises a sample-specific identifier sequence capable of indicating sample origin of an amplification product.

Method for high-throughput AFLP-based polymorphism detection

The invention relates to a method for the high throughput discovery, detection and genotyping of one or more genetic markers in one or more samples, comprising the steps of restriction endonuclease digest of DNA, adaptor-ligation, optional pre-amplification, selective amplification, pooling of the amplified products, sequencing the libraries with sufficient redundancy, clustering followed by identification of the genetic markers within the library and/or between libraries and determination of (co-)dominant genotypes of the genetic markers.
