Videometer Greenhouse Phenotyping at IPPS 2019

The application of Videometer spectral imaging technology for plant phenotyping in the automated growth cell at the University of Copenhagen Phenolab facility was a highlight of the 6th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium in Nanjing, China. The use of this technology has allowed for a more accurate and efficient method of assessing the growth and health of plants, particularly in greenhouse settings.

One of the key advantages of the Videometer technology is its ability to acquire both reflectance and fluorescence images in the UV, visual range, and NIR. This allows for simultaneous mapping of chlorophyll abundance and chlorophyll fluorescence, providing valuable information on photosynthetic activity and fluorescence yield. By using this technology, researchers are able to gain a more complete understanding of the growth and development of plants, which can have important implications for agriculture and food production.

Greenhouse Phenotyping Presentation

The presentation by Professor Thomas Roitsch showcased the capabilities of the Videometer technology and its application in greenhouse phenotyping. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we study and understand plant growth, allowing for faster and more accurate assessments of plant health and development. The use of automated growth cells further enhances the efficiency of the process, allowing for large-scale studies to be conducted with ease. The presentation at the International Plant Phenotyping Symposium highlights the importance of innovation in the field of plant science, particularly in the context of food security and sustainable agriculture.
