Publications proving application cases for various plant species
Publications proving application cases for various plant species When evaluating an investment in phenotyping technology, one of the most critical considerations is whether the technology aligns with the specific applications you intend to pursue. It's entirely natural to question whether the hardware and software solutions we offer [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Analyzing plant diseases with LemnaGrid
Analyzing plant diseases with LemnaGrid LemnaGrid is LemnaTec’s programming platform for image processing. With a large library of functions many steps in image processing can be programmed on a graphical surface. The advantage of this programming platform is that learning the basic steps is done [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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
