Phenotyping – to measure the inaccessible
Researchers at Rothamsted operate the LemnaTec Field Scanalyzer to phenotype wheat crops. The machine essentially is watching the plants grow, but by doing this, we get insights that are never possible without technology. Not only that no human will continuously carry out measurements throughout the whole growth period, the [...]
LemnaTec, the digital toolbox for the phenes that follow the genes
Genotype and Phenotype are inseparable. Genes are the building and operating directions of the organism and the phenotypic properties are describing the appearance of the organism in its environment. Consequently, any genotype-related work immediately demands for measuring the resulting phenotypes. Nowadays genomic work is very widespread and makes [...]
LemnaTec LabScanalyzer supports breeding for climate-resilient beans.
