NIRS (Christian Möllers)
Development of NIRS calibrations for seed quality characters in Brassica species
The analysis of large numbers of genotypes for seed quality traits requires the availability of a rapid, in-expensive, sufficiently accurate and mostly non-destructive method. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) fulfills these requirements. NIRS calibrations are developed for different seed quality traits and for different seed amounts – starting from single seed analysis up to the analysis of the standard amount of 3 gramm. Developed calibrations are being used for the screening of genetic resources and for the analysis of seed samples derived from genetic experiments
