Welcome to The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility
The National Plant Phenomics Facility is a unique joint research centre organised in two nodes: the Adelaide 'Plant Accelerator'node or and the Canberra 'Australian High Resolution Phenomics Centre node.
The facility provides researchers, both nationally and internationally with the capability to study a range of plant systems by providing a comprehensive, continuous record and analysis of key physiological parameters throughout the plant life cycle. A continuuum of technologies is constantly developed to study plants under a range of controlled environments and with direct applicability to field and natural environments.
The Centre has been established under the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program. Through NCRIS, the Government is providing $542 million over 2005-2011 to provide researchers with major research facilities, supporting infrastructure and networks necessary for world-class research. One of the key capabilities supported by NCRIS is 'Integrated Biological Systems', of which the National Plant Phenomics Facility is a key part.

Workshop on growth phenotyping and imaging in plants
High-throuput phenotyping for complex integrated traits such as growth involves methodological and technical choices which determines eventually the quality of the phenotyping process. Many groups have developed tools, techniques and frameworks of analyses to analyse growth in a quantitative and reproducible way. The aim of these 3-day worshop is to gather together groups for sharing expertise in this domain.
