  • a) providing a population of plants grown in an environmentally controlled greenhouse environment;

    b) providing a light spectrum digital analyzing device;

    c) using the light spectrum digital analyzing device to take original reflected light images of each plant and then analyze those images for the phenotypic parameter in each plant;

    d) comparing the phenotypic parameter between at least two plants; and

    e) selecting a plant with the selected phenotypic parameter from a population of plants with different genetic constitution,wherein each plant within the population of plants is associated with a machine-readable identifier which can convey information about the plant'"'"'s identity and location.
