The Center for Biotechnology, the Center for Plant Science Innovation and the Agricultural Research Division at IANR are inviting people to preview the state-of-the-art Automated Phenotyping Facility at 2:30 p.m., May 18 at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Greenhouse Complex.

This facility will provide cutting edge technology for studying plant phenotypes at high resolution. It is one of the most unique facilities of its kind in the world.

The event is held as part of a celebration for "Fascination of Plants Day." Plants are fascinating. From little tiny seeds, planted into soil, many green plants arise - from small herbs up to big trees, or from ornamental flowers to substantial crops which all animals and mankind need to survive on this planet.
