Research Center Services

Bridging Innovation and Research in Plant Phenotyping

At SIA, we understand that plants form the cornerstone of our research endeavours. With decades of expertise in developing innovative technology for environmentally controlled cultivation and sophisticated non-invasive analysis of plant traits, we have established the PSI Research Center. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art infrastructure for plant cultivation and automated high-throughput phenotyping of a wide range of plant traits across various species under precisely controlled environmental conditions.

Access to Cutting-Edge Technology

The PSI Research Center boasts high-end walk-in growth chambers designed for the precise growth of plants and PlantScreen™ platforms that enable automated phenotyping of small and mid-sized plants in controlled environments. We also facilitate the cultivation and monitoring of larger crop plants up to 1.5 meters in height in semi-controlled greenhouse environments. Our facilities are available for visiting scientists and can be accessed on a fee-for-service basis for diverse phenotyping and plant cultivation experiments.
