As the sun rises over another crisp autumn morning in Canberra, you will find French intern, Camille Mounier, keenly watching over her rice lines in the Cropatron at the Australian [...]
The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) will appear in the media twice this week, promoting the importance of plant science. The Stock Journal ran an article today (27 April) featuring [...]
In a recent paper, researchers have developed a methodology suitable for analysing the growth curves of a large number of plants from multiple families. The corrected curves accurately account for [...]
Statistics prove the smart way to deal with variation in your controlled environment greenhouse. Plant phenomics allows the measurement of plant growth with unprecedented precision. As a result, the question [...]
