The Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences is currently working on a short-term project spanning 24 months, which began in October 2023. The project is focused exclusively on measuring small Arabidopsis plants.
Giving the number of plant lines to be generated and characterised within a brief timeline, a dedicated piece of equipment is required for high-throughput measurements of plant gas exchange and fluorescence. This equipment is critical for measuring changes or enhancements in photosynthetic performance such as A/Ci curve analysis.
To meet the above requirements the LI-COR LI-6800F Portable Photosynthesis System with Fluorometer (LICOR 6800) has been identified as the sole equipment with readily available software and tools tailored for high-throughput ‘RACIR’ A/Ci curve measurements (Stinziano et al. 2017, Plant, Cell and Environment 40:1256). This capability is paramount for achieving the stipulated high-throughput objectives
