Hyperspectral phenotyping reveals genetic variation in Scots Pine, suggesting reflectance as a tool for adaptive breeding.

The study aims to uncover genetic variation in Scots Pine and explore its adaptive potential using hyperspectral phenotyping.
Assess needle functional traits linked to foliar structure and pigment composition.
Integrate hyperspectral measurements at needle and canopy levels with genotyping using a SNP array.
Evaluate genetic correlations of physiological traits across two seasons.
Substantial genetic variation identified with high heritability in pigment and structural traits.
Pigment content showed significant correlation with reflectance values.
Findings suggest spectral traits could assist in breeding programs for climate adaptation.

Provaznik et al. (2025) studied this question.
