Using a Field Spectrometer for Seed Discrimination

In plant breeding, NIR spectroscopy can be used for qualitative analysis of seed and discrimination of seed mutations in chemically or irradiated seeds to find variants with a desired improved trait by comparing seed spectra. Seeds are classified by the similarity of their spectroscopic fingerprints. Outliers with the improved variant can be separated from large populations of similar seeds based on variations in absorption features.
