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.

Multiple Data Analysis Types

• Seed Germination Rate/Root Growth Rate/Hypocotyl(Stem) Growth Rate/Cotyledon Angle/Root Tip Changes/Dynamic Luminescence Quantification

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.
