Full description
The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) provides Australian researchers with world-leading capability to measure the attributes of plants and relate this knowledge to their genetic make-up. The APPF is a cross-institutional facility, which involves two quite different but highly complementary research centres - The Plant Accelerator in Adelaide, the APPF headquarters, and the High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre in Canberra. The facilities provide state-of-the-art capabilities for plant phenotyping (offering controlled environments, field-based plant growth monitoring, automated high throughput imaging and computing technologies), integrated with the ongoing adaptation and application of emerging phenomics measurement technologies.
