The Plant Accelerator® is a world-leading plant phenomics facility. It offers state-of-the-art plant growth environments and the latest technology in high throughput plant imaging for the repeated measurements of the physical attributes (phenotype) of plants automatically and non-destructively.
The services provided by our team of experts enable academic and commercial plant scientists to better understand the factors controlling the performance of particular crops; factors including the genetic make-up of the plants, the soil conditions, chemical and nutrient treatments, and environmental stresses. This will facilitate an acceleration of crops improvement - generating crops that are more productive, disease tolerant and viable in marginal conditions.
