DynaPlant® is a high-throughput platform for dynamic imaging of plant seedlings which is capable to provide kinetics in a space resolution of micrometers and time resolution of minutes.

Features

High-throughput and high-precision imaging

    In an experiment, the phenotypes of hundreds of seedlings are detected. By integrating a high - resolution camera, a macro lens, and a high - precision three - dimensional stage, continuous detection of samples with high spatial and high temporal (in minutes) resolution can be achieved.

Multimodal imaging technology

    Infrared morphological phenotype detection, unaffected by changes in cultivation light. It also has chemiluminescence and fluorescence imaging modes.

Features

Environmental control and instantaneous change

    Multiple environmental condition control, and can be quickly changed according to the settings, phenotype detection under complex treatment conditions.

Application Case

The correlation between ethylene-induced inhibition of primary root growth and microtubule rearrangement in Arabidopsis.

Wang et al. reported the necessity of ethylene - induced microtubule rearrangement for its rapid inhibition of Arabidopsis thaliana root elongation. Traditional research methods can only photograph the root phenotypes after long - term ethylene treatment, reflecting the cumulative effect during the entire treatment period. In order to detect the rapid root response after ethylene treatment, the author used the DynaPlant® Seedlings analysis platform to measure the kinetics of root elongation after ethylene treatment. The system can measure the root growth rate as low as 0.1 μm/min, so it can distinguish slight changes in ethylene sensitivity between different genotypes or treatments.
