Organisation profile

The National Plant Phenomics Centre (NPPC) is hosted within the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) at Aberystwyth University. The NPPC is a National Capability funded by the BBSRC and available to researchers from academia and industry.

The Centre employs a multidisciplinary approach,  bringing together engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians to work with biologists to address how genetics and environment interact to give rise to the characteristics (or phenotype) of the individual organism.

State-of-the-art phenotyping platforms have been established at IBERS, with the aim of delivering integrated phenotyping solutions for key crop and model species. Innovative technologies measure plant performance and physiology at different scales, from the molecular and cellular to organ and population level.

Access to the platforms is available through the European Plant Phenotyping Network (European Researchers outside UK), the National Capability Scheme (UK Researchers),  by collaboration with IBERS scientists, or by direct purchase.  Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
