Image based automated or semi-automated high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms.

Name URL Description
PHENOPSIS http://bioweb.supagro.inra.fr/phenopsis Represents specific setups for automated phenotyping, allowing a culture of approximately 200–500 Arabidopsis plants in individual pots with automatic watering and imaging system (Granier et al., 2006).
WIWAM http://wiwam.be Like PHENOPSIS, WIWAM is an automated imaging platform simultaneously handling a large number of plants and measuring a variety of plant growth parameters with automatic watering and imaging system at regular time intervals (Skirycz et al., 2011).
PHENOSCOPE http://www.observatoirevegetal.inra.fr/observatoirevegetal_eng/Scientific-platforms/Phenoscope This automated phenotyping platform is an integrated device, allowing simultaneous culture of 735 individual Arabidopsis plants and high-throughput acquisition, storage and analysis of quality phenotypes (Tisne et al., 2013).
GROWSCREEN http://www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-2/EN/methods_jppc/GROWSCREEN This platform was developed to study plant leaf growth fluorescence and root architecture from seedling under control condition for visual phenotyping of large plant populations (Walter et al., 2007; Jansen et al., 2009).
TraitMill http://www.cropdesign.com High-throughput gene engineering platform developed by Crop Design. This is a highly versatile tool that enables large-scale transgenesis and automated high resolution phenotypic plant evolution (Reuzeau, 2007).
PHENODYN http://bioweb.supagro.inra.fr/phenodyn This platform monitors plant growth and transpiration rate with stressful environmental condition.
Plant Scan http://www.csiro.au/Outcomes/FoodandAgriculture/HRPPC/PlatScan.aspx This is an automated high-resolution phenomic center which provides non-invasive analysis of plant structure, morphology and function by utilizing cutting edge information technology including high resolution cameras and 3D reconstruction software.
LemnaTec http://www.lemnatec.com Visualize and analysis 2D/3D non-destructive high-throughput imaging, monitor plant growth and behavior under entirely controlled conditions in a robotic greenhouse system.
QubitPhenomics http://qubitphenomics.com Integrated conveyor and robotic high-throughput plant imaging system for the laboratory, growth chamber and field phenotype screening and phenotyping.
HRPF N/A High-throughput rice phenotyping facility (HRPF) designed with two main sections: rice automatic phenotyping (RAP) and yield trait scorer (YTS). This high-throughput platform was developed for automatic screening of rice germplasm resources and populations throughout the growth period and after harvest (Yang et al., 2014).
