National Laboratory provides high-resolution data to accelerate fundamental science investigations鈥攃onnecting genotypes to phenotypes with applications for bioenergy, agriculture, and climate resilience. The high-throughput system offers one of the most diverse suites of imaging capabilities for plant phenotyping worldwide.</p><p>Integrating these capabilities with the wealth of genomic data on plants and microbes generated through, for example, the DOE Center for Bioenergy Innovation or the DOE Plant-Microbe Interfaces Scientific Focus Area at ORNL enables new avenues for scientific discovery.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-element" > <div class="promo-video-wrapper"> <div class="promo-video-gray-bg"> <div class="solo-video-embed-wrapper"> <div class="youtube-video-wrapper"> <div id="embed-element-69833" class="embed-element"> <div class="youtube-embed-wrapper"> https://youtu.be/ogmA9eSGi6I </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-element" > <div class="text-paragraph paragraph paragraph--type--text-body paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="text-only-container"> <div class="field-wrapper text-left-indent"> <div class="field-container" > <div class="field-element" ><h3><strong>Capturing Critical Data</strong></h3><p>Simultaneously measuring multiple characteristics and processes across plant populations requires speed and accuracy. The automated system achieves high throughput with higher resolution measurements than possible through traditional manual methods, allowing scientists to capture data for hundreds of plants before internal and external conditions change. The system has five image capture stations鈥攄ynamic chlorophyll fluorescence imaging, thermal imaging, near-infrared, 3D plant modeling, and hyperspectral imaging鈥攚hich combine to provide the user with
