ORNL’s biosensor system reveals CRISPR activity in poplar plants, which glow bright green under ultraviolet light, compared to normal plants, which appear red.
The Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory at ORNL is a high-throughput phenotyping system utilizing robotics and unique imaging and machine learning capabilities to quickly analyze new plant prototypes.
