Controlled Environment High Precision Phenotyping
Two industry leaders in plant science research work together to launch the next generation in Plant Phenomics research.
LemnaTec and Conviron announce a collaboration to deliver a new generation of plant Phenomics platforms. The novel systems will integrate LemnaTec Scanlyzer3D technology with Conviron’s expertise in controlled environments. Solutions will be engineered to each client’s unique requirements.
Prof. Mark Tester about the The Plant Accelerator™
"...LemnaTec has provided us with a unique, integrated package of cutting edge imaging and conveyor belt technologies to place at the core of The Plant Accelerator facility. Without this, we would have taken many more years to get to the position in which we are now, where we are able to image and process large numbers of plants, and thus undertake forward genetic studies of plant growth and response to their environment. Such studies would not previously have been possible, so, with this LemnaTec equipment, in our facility, we can now undertake experiments not previously feasible.

European initiatives on phenotyping platforms
There are many interests for Europe to favour the investment in the development of the phenotyping technology:
- Improve breeding techniques and efficiency with an increased genomics understanding and applicability
- Build infrastructure to provide the scientific community with the necessary tools to answer biological question: physiology, stress tolerance, yield components and productivity… that may help to solve future challenges: climate change, biotic and abiotic stresses and thus help to protect European agriculture
High-throughput phenotyping - Taking crop biotechnology to the next level
Innovative technologies are required to meet the agricultural needs of a growing world population, which is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050. Monsanto is committed to meeting these needs by improving the lives of farmers. Our goal is to use breeding, biotechnology and improved farming practices to develop crops that produce more yield while conserving natural resources. A key step in this process lies in identifying plants that possess traits that enable farmers to produce more yield with less water and fertilizer.
Plant Phenotyping : Picture this with machine vision
Plant phenotyping, which connects attributes of plant anatomy, physiology and performance back to their genetic origins and xenobiotic influences, is crucial for plant breeding. Traditional human observation is tarred with its subjective nature, drift over time, differences between observers and its often qualitative output. Machine vision offers solutions to these problems and in addition benefits from a fully quantitative output, abilities to look beyond human spectral perception, and measure parameters that are more challenging to the human observer.
High Throughput Plant Phenotyping – a Boost for Genomics in the 21st Century
Due to the development of highly automated genetic analysis, plant genomics has immensely enlarged our understanding of the genetic structure of plants over the last two decades. The fast evolving need to identify interactions between genes and environmental factors (biotic and abiotic) that brings about a certain plant phenome made it necessary to develop quantitative, reproducible and highly automated plant phenotyping systems for large plant numbers.
KeyTrack Root Phenotyping - At the Root of Development
Plant roots are economically very relevant since the distribution pattern of the root system in the soil determines the zone of water and nutrient availability to plants and differences in root and root development is related to crop yields and abilities to escape drought and soil-borne diseases.
