Building a Greenhouse Scanalyzer for Sugar Cane Research

LemnaTec installed a new Conveyor Scanalyzer in the Greenhouse of the Guangxi Sugar Cane Institute LemnaTec has built a new conveyor-based Greenhouse Scanalyzer at the Sugarcane Research Institute of the Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science, China. The system consists of an imaging loop including cabinets for visible light imaging [...]

Brassica heat and drought phenotyping

A LemnaTec Scanalyzer at work: Environmental stresses frequently occur in combination, particularly the combination of high temperatures and low water availability is common during hot weather. Such stresses negatively affect plant growth and reproduction. In Brassica crops such stresses impair pod setting and filling and research is done to strengthen [...]

LemnaTec’s ‘cool technology’ at the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit USA March 3rd 2016, Aachen, Germany: Global plant phenotyping specialist LemnaTec teamed up with the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center last week in Washington, DC, to present the Field Scanalyzer to stakeholders from across the energy and technology sectors including U.S. [...]

Prime Minister inaugurated IARI Phenomics Center

A LemnaTec Greenhouse Scanalyzer Plant-to-Sensor platform was installed at the Indian Agricultural Research Insitute, which was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi on 11th October 2017. The Prime Minister was guided through the facilities with the imaging cabinets, conveyers and the weighing/watering units. The Greenhouse Scanalyzer comprises [...]

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.

Beans are a key protein source for large parts of the world population, but bean plant cultivation is threatened by adverse climatic conditions. Breeding aims at improving future bean varieties for better yield performance under environmental stress. Researchers at the Mexican Colegio de Postgraduados Institute applied a LemnaTec LabScanalyzer in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

PhenoAIxpert ES successfully launched at the University of Amsterdam

PhenoAIxpert ES successfully launched at the University of Amsterdam Since we delivered a PhenoAIxpert ES to the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) in Amsterdam recently, researchers started their first experiments with the system. With the two cameras mounted inside the PhenoAIxpert ES, they can image both, the [...]
