TPMP : a unique platform to understand plant-microbe-environment interactions

Unique in France for its configuration, TPMP (Toulouse Plant Microbe Phenotyping platform) aims to understand the interactions between plants and their biotic environment and predict the adaptation of plants to global changes. This platform, operated by the Joint Research Unit LIPM, is able to respond to strong demand for high-throughput phenotyping (observation of all the traits of an organism).

INRA Occitanie-Toulouse develops a one-of-a-kind robot for "scanning” crops in the field

As part of the French Stimulus Initiative project PHENOME, a unique phenotyping robot was developed by INRA's Joint Research Unit for Agrosystems and Territorial Development (AGIR), INRA’s Joint Research Unit for the Mediterranean Environment and Modelling of Agro-hydrosystems (EMMAH), and ARVALIS. A prototype has just arrived at the Grand Cultures Experimental Farm, which is affiliated with INRA Occitanie-Toulouse. The robot will be linked with AgroPhen, a technological platform dedicated to field-based high-throughput phenotyping of major crop species.
