Austria

The Austrian plant Network landscape covers areas of fundamental and applied plant research. From Arabidopsis to trees – from subcellular phenotyping to shoots and roots. The high-throughput plant phenotyping platform at the VBCF PlantS facility is designed for RGB screening of Arabidopsis and is fully integrated in a state-of-the-art phytotron allowing complex environmental simulations. This system is complemented by deep expertise of GMI in phenotypic data analysis and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). At the BOKU several platforms for manual destructive and non-destructive root phenotyping are established. One of those rhizobox type setups is located in a plant growth cabinet equipped with LED illumination and incorporates a hyperspectral camera. The Core Facility Cell Imaging and -Ultrastructure Research and the Mass Spectrometry LAB of the Dept. of Ecogenomics and Systems Biology (University of Vienna) enable organelle stoichiometric analyses. The department also facilitates several modern plant physiology techniques for instance concerningthe measurement of so-called “SPAC” [Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Continuum] including “SRI” [Soil Root Interface]. The University of Innsbruck has facilities for imaging chlorophyll fluorescence fromwhole plants to sub-cellular level, which is used in projects associated with mapping stresses in plants, lichens and alga.
