Color charts: An introductory review on applications to qualitative crop phenotyping

Background

Colorimetry is a fascinating topic to discuss. In conjunction with the patterns of a natural world (See this awesome video about fibonacci numbers and plants), colors could have mesmerizing feels. In this post and the follow-up article, we will discuss in details about colorimetric features of a universe made of plants, in particular, which are cultivated/adopted and have edible human values – the agricultural crops. Then again, there are quite a large number of agricultural species to deal with. So, we will be making a touch down on some common crop species, i.e. Pea (Pisum sativum, wild counterpart of the famous Lathyrus pea studied by Mendel) and Wheat (Triticum aestivum).
