Greenhouse & Phytorium
Computerized greenhouses and controlled-environment growth cabinets are available for research with professional technical assistance available on site.
ECP3
The Eastern Canadian Plant Phenotyping (ECP3) Platform is a collaborative initiative between McGill University and Université de Sherbrooke.
The platform allows researchers to phenotype broad ranges of crop plants under diverse growth conditions and provides a vast array of infrastructure with advanced phenomics and phenotyping technologies, including:
Portable Photosynthesis System (LI-COR 6800)
The LI-COR 6800 is a portable Photosynthesis System capable of obtaining real time information and measurements about both the light reactions and the carbon reactions. When equipped with a fluorometer the LI-COR 6800 simultaneously measures gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence from leaves.
CT Scanning Laboratory
The macro-CT scanning facility enables the detailed, non-destructive study of plant, soil and wood structures, through 3-D images built from CT scans. Quantitative and statistical analyses are performed in a computer room adjacent to the CT scanner and operator rooms. In addition to the existing macro-CT scanning installation, a new micro-CT scanner section opened in July 2019.
