PHENOTIC

PHENOTIC aims to create a phenotyping chain from dry seed to the whole plant, capable of covering the entire plant development cycle, and brings together dedicated phenotyping tools for :

• Assess the physical, germinative and sanitary qualities of seeds and monitor the growth of seedlings.
• Characterise the development and architecture of above-ground plant parts,
• Assess the impact of biotic stresses.

The platform brings together phenotyping tools based essentially on image acquisition and processing, using conventional and non-conventional imaging, high throughput and/or high precision measurements.

The PHENOTIC platform comprises two facilities:

• the Angers Plant Phenotyping Facility within UMR IRHS, under general management delegation from INRAe,
• the Angers Seed Phenotyping Facility hosted and managed by GEVES-SNES.

It is involved in the PHENOME-Emphasis national IR network.
