About
Siti Halimah Larekeng is a leading figure in agricultural biotechnology and plant phenomics, with a focus on developing non-destructive, high-throughput methods for crop improvement. Her research integrates image-based phenotyping (IBP) with multivariate statistical analysis to solve critical challenges in plant breeding, particularly for lowland tomatoes and other staple crops. Her most-cited work (2024, 5 citations) demonstrates a novel approach to estimating fruit fresh weight without destructive sampling, providing breeders and farmers with a faster, more efficient tool to increase marketable yields. This contribution is foundational for advancing precision agriculture and accelerating selection in segregation lines. Beyond this, Larekeng's broader portfolio explores genetic diversity, molecular markers, and stress tolerance in tropical crops, aiming to enhance food security in resource-limited settings. Her work bridges the gap between traditional breeding and modern digital phenotyping, earning her recognition as an innovator in sustainable agriculture. With a growing citation impact, Larekeng's research continues to influence both academic plant science and practical farming applications.
