Phenotyping platforms are deployed in
several components (Joint Research Units and
technical institutes) to characterise in detail the
genetic diversity of plants and their environment
(envirotyping). These infrastructures make it possible
to analyse the genetic variability of plant responses
(and the underlying genetic determinism) to the
effects of climate change (drought, high levels
of carbon dioxide, high temperatures, emerging
diseases) and to facilitate the agro-ecological
transition with equipments and methods for
analysing interactions between plants and other
organisms (micro-organisms, insects, other plants) to
stimulate biological regulations.

The BC2Grape platform brings together the
expertise of INRAE (Joint Research Unit SAVE
«Santé et Agroécologie au vignoble») and IFV.
This cutting-edge facility offers tools and methods
to support the development, positioning, integration
and deployment of biocontrol and biostimulation
strategies at different scales, from the laboratory to
the vineyard.

The Plant Observatory, part of the Jean-
Pierre Bourgin Institute (Joint research unit
IJPB), is a unique cluster of platforms dedicated KEY FIGURES 2021
to plant phenotyping. It provides the opportunity
to characterise plant samples at multiple levels,
either supplied by or produced within its cultivation 2 182
facilities under controlled conditions. The Plant Research staff (FTE)
Observatory hosts projects involving model
species (Arabidopsis, Brachypodium, etc.) and 158
cultivated plants (maize, peas, flax, oilseed PhD students
rape, cotton, barley, wheat, vegetables, etc.).
It includes the Arabidopsis Biological Resource 17,5 M€
Centre (CRB), which provides a large number of
natural accessions and mutant or recombinant Revenue from
lines (RIL). The skills of the Plant Observatory partnerships with
cover a wide range of technologies and analyses, companies
from the cultivation and phenotyping of plants to
their biochemical, chemical, metabolic and visual 16 M€
characterisation. Its experts have know-how and Contract research
expertise that includes sample preparation and
data analysis.
