LemnaGrid – now with machine learning
LemnaGrid – now with machine learning In LemnaGrid, users can analyze images using pre-defined functions. The advantage is that you can do the programming on a graphical surface, without the demand for command-line programming. So, it is easy to learn, and you don’t need to be a [...]
Seed Positioner
Seed Positioner Positioning seeds on trays, both soil-filled and with moist paper, can be laborious. With our vacuum seed positioner, we offer an easy way for placing seeds. The system attaches seeds on a plate where vacuum sucks in air through a series of holes that are [...]
Bioluminescence
Bioluminescence Luminescence can serve as genetic reporter. It can not only label gene products or metabolites, but it can serve to visualize plant-microbe interactions. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam used luminescence labelled Xanthomonas campestris that infect Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The luminescence helps to follow the [...]
Multispectral Imaging
Phenotyping with multispectral imaging In physiological phenotyping, multispectral channel-wise imaging gives more informative data compared to simple photography. Presence and combination of various biochemical compounds are the main determinant of the plant’s physiological status. As the biochemical properties of the plant’s surface determine optical properties, multispectral imaging [...]
PhenoAIxpert HTC customer installation
PhenoAIxpert HTC Installation at a Leading American University Our new PhenoAIxpert HTC is being installed at a leading University in the USA. They are among the first customers to run this innovative phenotyping system that delivers multi-camera phenotyping at limited footprint. The multi-sensory system enables [...]
Root Phenotyping with LemnaTec Software
Root Phenotyping with LemnaTec Software For plants, roots are as important as shoots are. However, in most cases they are below ground, and thus they are not visible to humans. When considering the plant’s properties, frequently roots are neglected. Despite this, it becomes increasingly important to analyze [...]
Hemp phenotyping with PhenoAIxpert HT
Hemp phenotyping with PhenoAIxpert HT Hemp plants are of industrial (fiber production) and medical (use active ingredients like CBD, THC) interest and thus breeding optimized varieties is an important task. In any breeding process, not only genetics but similarly phenotypes need thorough analyses, and robust genotype-phenotype relations [...]
How digital phenotyping helps
How Digital Phenotyping Helps How digital phenotyping helps - or why should I use phenotyping technologies? 1. Bringing phenotyping to eye-level: nearly all processes in biological investigation run on high-tech basis. Analyzing DNA, proteins, or other metabolites use automatic machines that process the samples and deliver [...]
Of beans and mosses – a broad range phenotyping story
Of beans and mosses – a broad range phenotyping story Is the LemnaTec phenotyping technology actually suitable for my plant species? The story of a system initially acquired for bean research and stepped into the investigation of mosses: Using LemnaTec imaging and image processing for seed plants [...]
NDVI imaging
NDVI imaging With our innovative multispectral imaging unit, we can capture factors such as NDVI. The NDVI is one of the most common indices for plant vitality. NDVI imaging is not only used at field scale, but increasingly serves to monitor plant quality in various applications. [...]
New Consultants for the American Market
New Consultants for the American Market We are happy to announce the cooperation with two consultants who will support our business in the US. With these partnerships we want to further expand our global customer base and provide a closer link to our American customers. [...]
Hemp Germination and Seedling analysis
Hemp Germination and Seedling analysis Germination is a critical step in plant growth, and simply speaking the young plant must pass two obstacles, first it must leave the seed, and second it must emerge from the soil. Only then the plant can grow successfully and deliver [...]
Online Conference of The Korean Society of Breeding Science

Literature example – Phenotyping cherry gene pools
Application example – Phenotyping cherry gene pools Plant phenotyping with LemnaTec is much more than large-scale conveyor-based installations in greenhouses. At laboratory level, using manually operated imaging cabinets combined with powerful image processing, one can gain substantial data on plant phenotypic properties. In the current example, our [...]
Using machine learning in phenotyping and seed testing
Using machine learning in phenotyping and seed testing Digital phenotyping is well known as non-invasive imaging-based method to obtain data on plant phenotypic traits. Likewise, seed testing methods are available to measure germination processes, or determine seed and seedling quality. After recording, images are processed, however classical image processing frequently [...]
