Descripción

The development of Low-Cost Phenotyping Platforms Supported by Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is part of a recently launched research initiative at Embrapa Vegetables in Brasília, Federal District, aimed at creating a National Platform for Adaptation to Climate Change Applied to Family Farming (Clima AF). Through Prompt Engineering and Command Chaining, this stage was designed for the visual assessment of physiological disorders in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) tuberous roots in the context of the Climate Emergency. The pipeline consists of four stages: 1 - Definition of an expert persona; 2 - Phenological contextualization and critical root filling period; 3 - Visual anatomical phenotyping; and 4 - Synthesis of the physiological disorders found, with a focus on heat stress. The methodology is available as open access following FAIR principles. The analysis is conducted using minimal information, such as photos that can be taken with everyday devices like martphones and information about the harvest season. Because it is available as open access, it democratizes information and contributes to achieving climate justice for a socioeconomically ulnerable audience (family farmers).
