Abstract

With the completion of the whole genome sequencing of major important crops, researchers have an increasing demand for high-throughput, accurate and nondestructive phenotyping technologies. The Plant Phenomics Analysis Platform (PPAP) was established in 2017 at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The platform has the most up-to-date comprehensive phenotyping analysis facility in China with a full spectrum of imaging systems consisting of eight units including visible light, infrared, near-infrared, root near-infrared, fluorescence, chlorophyll fluorescence, high spectral and lidar imaging. The platform has also specifically established phenotyping technologies for complex traits, such as root phenotype collection and analysis, spike and spikelet feature collection and analysis and responses under stress conditions. PPAP is dedicated to providing all-possible services for domestic and international academic communities and industrial partners engaged in plant sciences.
