The Jülich Plant Phenotyping Centre (JPPC), founded in 2006 at Forschungszentrum Jülich, has been expanded into one of Germany's leading sites for plant phenotyping during the establishment of the German Plant Phenotyping Network, which has been funded by the BMBF with more than 18 million euros since 2012 at the Research Center Jülich. Here, structural and functional properties of plants are measured using non-invasive methods with special consideration of relevant environmental conditions. Plant traits are quantified in automated screening facilities under controlled conditions in climate chambers or in state-of-the-art research greenhouses - now even in high-throughput, as well as in field conditions (including modification of environmental parameters, such as elevated CO2 concentrations) using a wide range of sensors on the ground or aiborne. Non-invasive methods are used to study the performance and characteristics of growth, nutrient and water uptake and efficiency, the influence of abiotic (and to some extent biotic) stress factors in close collaboration with academic partners, breeders and industry. Facilities for quantification of 3D structure of individual plants and canopes using optical methods up to dedicated systems for nuclear spin tomography on plants are established and continuously developed. Experiments are also possible under S1 conditions. All dexpeimental data are is stored and processed due to demand.
