Phenomics Facility (Mini-Lysimeter Platform)

PHENOMICS FACILITY (MINI-LYSIMETER PLATFORM)

The instrument is purchased in DBT sponsored project on “Establishment of DBT BUILDER – TNAU Interdisciplinary Life Science Platform for Advance Research and Education” under RRSFP Programme. The established Phenomics Platform is used for measuring crop responses to water deficit conditions.  This facility will help in precision phenotyping of mapping population(s) and diverse germplasm lines for growth, yield and stress tolerance traits. This will accelerate development of drought tolerant genotypes in rice, tomato, maize etc.
