High-throughput plant phenotype acquisition technologies have been extensively utilized in plant phenomics studies, leading to vast quantities of images and image-based phenotypic traits (i-traits) that are critically essential for accelerating germplasm screening, plant diseases identification and biotic & abiotic stress classifcation. Here, we present the Open Plant Image Archive (OPIA, https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/opia/), an open archive of plant images and i-traits derived from high-throughput phenotyping platforms. Currently, OPIA houses 56 datasets across 11 plants, comprising a total of 566 225 images with 2 417 186 labeled instances. Notably, it incorporates 56 i-traits of 93 rice and 105 wheat cultivars based on 18 644 individual RGB images, and these i-traits are further annotated based on the Plant Phenotype and Trait Ontology (PPTO) and cross-linked with GWAS Atlas. Additionally, each dataset in OPIA is assigned an evaluation score that takes account of image data volume, image resolution, and the number of labeled instances. More importantly, OPIA is equipped with useful tools for online image pre-processing and intelligent prediction. Collectively, OPIA provides open access to valuable datasets, pre-trained models, and phenotypic traits across diverse plants and thus bears great potential to play a crucial role in facilitating artifcial intelligence-assisted breeding research.
