Postgraduate Internship Award (PIA) recipient, Emi Stuart, talks about her research with eucalypts at the APPF Emi, in simple terms, what your research is about? My PhD project explores "cheating" [...]
Can you share with us in the simplest terms what your research is about? The aim of my research is to explore some of the great genetic diversity of the [...]
Research in a new paper shows that the interaction of plants and soil fungi – mycorrhiza – does not always benefit the plant. Beneficial soil microbes such as mycorrhizal fungi [...]

A team of scientists from the University of Sydney, Macquarie University and the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) have identified a novel source of salt tolerance in an endemic Australian [...]
Counting and measuring the length of leaves on a barley plant sounds simple enough. But try doing it on hundreds of plants on a daily basis, something you would need [...]
A team of scientists, including the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility's Dr Bettina Berger, have identified a number of novel beneficial genetic loci (so-called quantitative trait loci or QTL) that associated [...]
There next round of Postgraduate Internship Awards at the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) have been announced! Applications close – 30 November, 2018 This is an exciting opportunity to be [...]

Earlier this year the team from ABC Catalyst visited the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) at the University of Adelaide's Waite Campus to film segments for an upcoming program on [...]
The 5th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium, titled ‘From plant, to data, to impact’, will be held in Adelaide, South Australia from 2-5 October 2018. The interesting and diverse program [...]
Arun Shanker and Robert Coe at the HRPPC, the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility's CSIRO hosted node An international collaboration tackling a shared challenge – the search for combined [...]
The statistical skills of grains researchers and agronomists throughout the southern cropping region are being taken to a new level, thanks to training support being offered through the Grains Research [...]
Wageningen University & Research is the “knowledge heart” of the Dutch Greenhouse Horticulture, which is the most advanced and productive in the world. Scientists of Wageningen University & Research will [...]
New phenotyping techniques are revolutionising the field of plant sciences in general and plant breeding in particular. How can phenotyping data from platforms and high throughput devices be analysed and [...]
Few industries define human civilisation as strongly as agriculture. And, as the world's population continues to grow, few technologies are as poised to improve the cultivation of food, fiber and [...]
