Agar Root Phenotyping System

The Agar Root Phenotyping System is an innovative solution that transforms the approach to root research. Driven by advanced robotic technology, the system easily handles PSI-developed petri dishes around the clock, at every step of the phenotyping process. petri dishes that PSI develops around the clock, at every step of the phenotyping process. This includes tasks ranging from agar pouring and robotic seed sowing to the proper application of bacteria at the root-stem interface. at the root-stem interface, and comprehensive phenotypic evaluations performed at various imaging stations.
