Why do we phenotype roots, and how can we do this
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 [...]

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 [...]
Bioluminescence-Related Applications
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
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 [...]
Fluorescence imaging in physiological phenotyping
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 [...]
Value generation through applying phenotyping technologies
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 [...]

Four reasons why breeders need digital phenotypic data
Four reasons why breeders need digital phenotypic data Documentation: digital images keep hold of the current state of the plants while a quoted visual impression captured by an operator is perishing and impossible to reconstruct. Standardization: Rating operators are well trained, of course, and the breeder’s eye never [...]
Lifecycle phenotyping of plant development
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 [...]
