Workshop “New Frontiers in Plant Biology” at CBGP Madrid, Spain, April 17-19, 2024 LemnaTec has supported the workshop “New Frontiers in Plant Biology”, and Dr. Robert Tietz, managing director, together with Dr. Marcus Jansen, application scientist, have participated in the meeting. There were many interesting talks and posters [...]

Value generation through applying phenotyping technologies Plant phenotyping in laboratory and growth rooms involves assessing and quantifying various traits and characteristics of plants at different developmental stages. This process enables researchers to understand plant growth, development, and responses to environmental conditions. The generated data can be valuable for [...]

Testing bioluminescence imaging using luminescent fungi The LemnaTec PhenoAIxpert ES is dedicated for bioluminescence-related applications. Such bioluminescence naturally occurs in several organisms, such as some fungi, firefly, or marine organisms. However, these naturally bioluminescent organisms usually are not the target of investigation for the PhenoAIxpert ES customers. In [...]

Unlocking the potential of root phenotyping Root phenotyping opens a window into the intricate world beneath, revealing how plants adapt, grow, and interact with their soil environment. From imaging-based phenotyping technologies to genetic insights, exploring root systems is key to enhancing crop resilience, water supply, nutrient uptake, and [...]

Merry Christmas! Dear valued customers, partners and suppliersThe year 2023 has been an exciting and very busy year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their trust and our suppliers for the good collaboration. Last but not least, I would like to extend my [...]

Since December, Dr. Ralf Blanke is strengthening our sales team We are very pleased to introduce you to our new colleague in sales and contact person for our international customer base. Ralf has a doctorate in analytical chemistry and has been working in technical & scientific sales of research-related [...]

Fluorescence imaging in physiological phenotyping Fluorescence provides access to pigment-related data that are not provided by visible light images. Most prominently, chlorophyll emits fluorescence after excitation by light, but other pigments and breakdown products of chlorophyll can emit fluorescence, too. Chlorophyll causes red fluorescence that dominates the light [...]

Lifecycle phenotyping of plant development Technology-based phenotyping frequently is limited by sensing capabilities of the cameras, scanners, or other sensors used to obtain information on the samples. For instance, image recording and image processing of growing plants frequently works well for leaves and shoots of young seedlings, but [...]

Why do we phenotype roots, and how can we do this? Roots have essential functions in plant biology. They take up water and nutrients from the soil, ensure anchoring the plant in the substrate, and they are interface for the interaction of the plant with soil-living organisms. To [...]
