Plant Phenotyping Resources

The open access, world-class capabilties of the APPF have become an essential resource for plant scientists all over the world.

As one of the first plant phenotyping facilities worldwide, the APPF has been a pioneer in developing and providing plant phenotyping technologies in since 2010. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, we have designed and commissioned complex phenotyping platforms for use in controlled environments and in the field, software to facilitate data management, analysis and visualisation, and developed extensive technical experience, to undertake large-scale phenomics studies.

By sharing our resources and knowledge, the APPF enables plant scientists to investigate plant performance at a scale and level of detail not previously possible, accelerating research outcomes to lead to new discoveries, and contributing to Australia’s reputation as a world-class leader in innovative agricultural science.

Our resources page is organic and will continue to grow and evolve as we develop, innovate and discover new software technologies and educational tools.

Resource for reference ontologies, plant genomics and phenomics

The Planteome database:  An integrated resource for reference ontologies, plant genomics and phenomics

The Planteome is a unique resource for both basic plant biology researchers such as evolutionary or molecular biologists and geneticists, and also for plant breeders who are interested in selecting for various traits of interest. The Planteome project is an international collaborative effort and is supported by primary funding (IOS:1340112 award) from the National Science Foundation of USA.

The novel aspect of the Planteome lies in the semantic strength of the integrated ontology network, which can be traversed computationally. Planteome allows plant scientists in various fields to identify traits of interest, and locate data, including germplasm, QTL and genes associated with a given trait, and can help in building hypotheses, confirming observations, data sharing and inter- and intra-specific comparisons.

The Planteome project provides a suite of reference and species-specific ontologies for plants and annotations to genes and phenotypes. Ontologies serve as common standards for semantic integration of a large and growing corpus of plant genomics, phenomics and genetics data. The reference ontologies include the Plant Ontology, Plant Trait Ontology and the Plant Experimental Conditions Ontology developed by the Planteome project, along with the Gene Ontology, Chemical Entities of Biological Interest, Phenotype and Attribute Ontology, and others.

The project also provides access to species-specific Crop Ontologies developed by various plant breeding and research communities from around the world. It provides integrated data on plant traits, phenotypes, and gene function and expression from 95 plant taxa, annotated with reference ontology terms. The Planteome project is also developing a plant gene annotation platform; Planteome Noctua, to facilitate community engagement. All the Planteome ontologies are publicly available and are maintained at the Planteome GitHub site for sharing, tracking revisions and new requests. The annotated data are freely accessible from the ontology browser and the data repository. Read more.
