[R package] Prediction of Grain Weight and Area in Bread Wheat (feat. kimindex)
These days, image analysis equipment can easily provide grain area measurements (mm²), and the large datasets acquired instantly from this equipment offer more insights into wheat grains. While grain weight can be a good indicator of wheat yield, obtaining data on grain weight is challenging with the available equipment. Currently, average grain weight is calculated using thousand kernel weight (TWK), a process that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, predicting wheat grain weight from the grain area would allow us to…
