Quality traits are some of the most important and time-consuming phenotypesto evaluate in plant breeding programs. These traits are often evaluated latein the breeding pipeline due to their cost, resulting in the potentialadvancement of many lines that are not suitable for release. Near-infraredspectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-destructive tool that can rapidly increase thespeed at which quality traits are evaluated. However, most spectrometers arenon-portable or prohibitively expensive. Recent advancements have led to thedevelopment of consumer-targeted, inexpensive spectrometers with demonstratedpotential for breeding applications. Unfortunately, the mobile applications forthese spectrometers are not designed to rapidly collect organized samples atthe scale necessary for breeding programs. To that end, we developedProspector, a mobile application that connects with LinkSquare portable NIRspectrometers and allows breeders to efficiently capture NIR data. In thisreport, we outline the core functionality of the app and how it can easily beintegrated into breeding workflows as well as the opportunities for furtherdevelopment. Prospector and other high throughput phenotyping tools andtechnologies are required for plant breeders to develop the next generation ofimproved varieties necessary to feed a growing global population.
