University of Sheffield Open

The Wolfson Centre for Disease Phenomics. 

A state-of-the-art facility for plant disease phenomics.

Phenomic platforms:

• PSI Trackscan Multispectral imager
• PSI Trackscan PAM Chlorophyll fluorescence imager
• Desktop versions for protocol development

What We Do

Our focus is on plant responses to disease.

The facility has high-throughput chlorophyll fluorescence (PAM) and multispectral imaging systems to image plant-pathogen interactions. Both are housed in controlled environments, providing precise control over irradiance, temperature and humidity. The facility can handle GM plants and pathogens (and controlled diseases).

Projects

• Combinations of immune priming agents protect plants against disease.
• Synthetic microbial communities to protect hydroponic crops
• Epigenetic modification and crop protection
