JPPC - the Jülich Plant Phenotyping Centre

JPPC is the platform for plant phenotyping research at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.

At the ICG-3: Phytosphere plant scientists together with physicists, chemists and engineers develop a unique portfolio of non-invasive methods for plant phenotyping.

The methods are based on optical and dedicated electromagnetic technologies, on NMR and special isotope technologies including short-lived radiotracers.

Research activities cover ecophysiological problems under environmental conditions from controlled to field environments.

JPPC benefits from plant phenotyping in national and international networks like GABI or IPPN: development of concepts, strategies and sensors, genomic approaches and system biology.

JPPC is the base for the development of a national phenotyping platform named in the High Tech Strategy of the German federal government.
