Sustainable agriculture for feeding increasing population is a foremost global challenge. The “green revolution” based crop productivity has done wonders in the past, but it has limits, and, thus, we are compelled to look for new avenues to increase productivity of important crops. Plant phenomics is emerging as a promising area in which many imaging sensors developed in the past are being tested for mapping of genetic information expressed within plant phenotypes, and the integrated use of these sensors may help speed-up unraveling of underlying molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms. We provide here a review of methods used for phenotyping and understanding of abiotic stress (drought/cold) tolerance mechanisms in the context of dynamic challenges faced by plants during their life.
