‘Deep phenotyping’ technology - development, validation and deployment
Model Plant Module (HTP) Crop Plant Shoot Module (MTP) Crop Plant Root Module (MTP) Crop Plant Field Module (HTP)
1500 m2 lab space and ‘research hotel’ Imaging modules interfaced with 245 m2 greenhouse,
260 m2 growth cabinets Large field site with distributed sensor networks
portable ‘phenomobile’ and 15m imaging tower
Measuring systems and traits to be measured – model plants to crops
–Colour imagesPlant area, volume, mass, structure, phenology Senescence, relative chlorophyll content, pathogenic lesionsSeed yield, agronomic traits
–Near IR imagingTissue water contentSoil water content
–Far IR imagingCanopy / leaf temperature / water use / salt tolerance
–Chl Fluorescence imagingPhysiological state of photosynthetic
machinery–Hyperspectral imaging
Carbohydrates, pigments and protein–Carbon isotope ratio
Transpiration efficiency, photosynthetic pathway (TDL/MS)
–FTIR Imaging Spectroscopy Cellular localisation of metabolites
(sugars, protein, aromatics)
Key technologies
Model plant module
• Growth and morphology• Photosynthetic performance (Chl Fluor) under defined environmental conditions
Fluorogro-scan TrayScan RGB / FIR in-Cabinet
•IR screening for leaf temperature• Automated destructive sampling for metabolites, protein, DNA and RNA, delta13C
Target plants : Arabidopsis, Tobacco, Brachypodiumand seedling screens
Data Analysis: non-destructive Growth Analysis and morphological
clustering
• Leaf area / growth analysis (eg heterosis and drought stress)
• Photosynthetic mutants• Lesions / pathogen attack• Architecture / morphology• Morphological clustering• Interfaced to PODD phenotypic dBase
Conveyor Tray Scan: 3000 plants per day
Phenome / Genome Database at last!

Brachypodium distachyon as a model for wheat and biofuel feedstocks (USDA / DOE)
• Small cereal (can be grown in trays of 20, as for Arabidopsis, 10cm high at maturity)
• 6-8 week lifecycle• Small sequenced genome (50Mb)• High synteny with wheat • Phenotyping 2000 genome wide KO’s and 100 accessions for growth,
biomass and yield, photosynthesis, abiotic stress tolerance and lignin / cell wall properties
• Mapping traits to genomic regions and genes
• Cloning homologues in wheat and C4 grasses
Crop Shoot Module :Growth imaging, 3D reconstruction and overlay of signals in controlled
environments
• Whole of lifecycle photosynthesis and growth • Dynamic growth and carbon allocation to plants organs• Transpiration and water use• Hyperspectral detection of leaf protein and CHO

The Challenges at HRPPC
• Variety of non-commercial imaging systems and sensors• Need to link experiments across platforms• Metadata may have genotype, experimental and growth conditions plus GIS data• Users must be able to retrieve calculated and raw data• Requirements to preserve large data sets for later reanalysis or for “probity” in publication • Long term desire to link to public databases
