Vision of the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF)
The APPF is a world leading centre underpinning innovative plant phenomics research to accelerate the development of new and improved crops, healthier food and more sustainable agricultural
practice.

Infrastructure and Services
State-of-the-art imaging technologies and data analysis tools are combined to help measure the attributes of plants in different environments and relate this knowledge to their genetic make-up.
