A new era in plant biology in Australia

Plant Scientists have gained vast knowledge about the genetics of various crop species during recent years. It has become increasingly easier and cheaper to sequence and map genomes, giving scientists access to information unimaginable just a few decades ago. However, a bottleneck has developed in capitalising on this information. The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) has been developed to alleviate this ‘phenotyping bottleneck’.

For Further information on the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility contact The Plant Accelerator^® and the High Resolution Plant Phenomics Facility (HRPPC).

The Plant Accelerator focuses on high throughput analyses of plant growth and function. This world-leading plant growth and analysis facility is based at the Waite Campus of the University of Adelaide.

The High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre is located in Canberra at CSIRO Plant Industry and the Australian National University. It focuses on deep phenotyping and reverse phenomics.
