Have you ever thought of learning about the plant while it’s floating above the ground? This is exactly what Ran Morin, an artist who incorporates botany into his works, did. The sculpture 'Glass-tube Ficus' in China, was created for the LAB GREEN project, where Ran used the image of a test tube. The concept, proven over the statue's four-year existence, is to observe root development alongside leaf and branch growth, with roots filling the large ‘test tube.’ Our PlantArray system allowed them to optimize #irrigation and monitor all essential growth conditions: #Humidity (in the upper and lower container areas), #Lighting, and #Salinity. "This control was especially important, as the statue sits on the 17th floor in an air-conditioned, artificially lit space. With #PlantArray system, we determined optimal light, irrigation, temperature, and humidity—enabling a large tree to thrive in entirely artificial conditions," reported Ran. The system also enables remote interaction with the tree, crucial during the pandemic when the project began.

Want to know how to efficiently conduct a drought experiment? 🌱 Watch our new webinar where we reviewed the protocol recently published by the editors of the Journal of Experimental Botany (JXB). In the protocol, the editors provided guidelines for better experimental design, data interpretation, and reporting of results, particularly in experiments conducted under so-called 'controlled conditions'.

Conferences are always the best way to meet new people from your field! Attending the XIX Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology in Brazil? Don’t forget to stop by our booth #10 and meet Dr. Rejane de Moraes to learn how you can perform efficient phenotyping without waiting for the entire growth cycle. With the #PlantArray, you can complete an experiment in just three weeks and reach conclusions within days of starting. Sounds interesting? Dr. de Moraes will be there to answer any questions you may have! https://lnkd.in/dXPDJJMN

Just a quick mention that we are exhibiting now at the XIX Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology in Brazil! 🙍♀️ We will be at booth #10 and will also be holding workshops during the conference. 📅 Dr. Rejane de Moraes will give a talk introducing the PlantArray system, our high-throughput functional phenotyping platform, on Oct 11th from 09:40 to 10:10 AM (Brazil time). 📅 Dr. De Moraes will also co-host an R&D lab talk on the #PlantArray system installed at the Laboratório de Agricultura em Ambiente Controlado (LAAC).

New webinar call 📣 📣The webinar will take place on Monday, Oct 7th, at 16:00 CET / 10:00 EST 💻 In this webinar, we will present numerous examples from published studies in top journals that demonstrate the functional, continuous phenotyping capabilities of the PlantArray system. The #PlantArray automatically manages various stressors while detecting plant reactions weeks before any visual symptoms appear. This is achieved by measuring key physiological traits such as transpiration, stomatal conductance, and biomass gain. Insights from the system have been shown to strongly correlate with field yield results.

How to Efficiently Conduct a Drought Experiment? The protocol 👇 The editors of the Journal of Experimental Botany (JXB) often receive manuscripts on drought tolerance and plant responses to water deficit that suffer from flawed experimental designs, inconsistent terminology, overinterpretation of data, or unrealistic lab-to-field extrapolations. To address these issues, the JXB Editorial Board established a working group to provide guidelines for better experimental design, data interpretation, and reporting of results, particularly in experiments performed under so-called ‘controlled conditions.’ In these guidelines, the editors offer advice on improving experiment design, data interpretation, and result reporting. In any plant stress experiment, the variables measured should be selected according to the specific requirements of the experiment. These variables may cover molecular, biochemical, physiological, and morphological aspects. While visual images can be useful for illustrating the impact of stress on the overall appearance of the plant, they alone may lead to superficial or incorrect conclusions. In contrast, incorporating physiological measurements such as growth, transpiration, and water potential is strongly recommended to assess stress levels. These parameters occupy a higher place in the response hierarchy and are typically the first to show changes. Our #PlantArray system measures the dynamic physiological activity of a wide variety of plants while controlling personalized soil and water conditions for each plant.

🌿 How do poplar trees handle drought? 🌿 Carbohydrates are believed to play a major role in osmotic adjustment in plants, and under drought stress, this becomes even more critical. Will poplar trees with a limited ability to accumulate sugars in their leaves respond differently to drought? 🤔 At the Weizmann Institute of Science, guided by Prof. Tamir Klein and Dr. Rakefet David-Schwartz and in collaboration with Hagar Fox, the researchers are testing such poplars under full irrigation and drought conditions to examine how their ability to accumulate sugars affects their response. Using the PlantArray system, researchers can calculate the daily transpiration rate for each plant and establish a personalized irrigation program designed to achieve the same level of stress across all plants. Later, they will also be able to compare the water use efficiency and recovery rates between wild-type (WT) and low-sugar poplars. Our cutting-edge system, the #PlantArray, allows us to track each tree's daily transpiration rate and design personalized irrigation programs to ensure consistent stress levels across all plants.
