Introducing RhizoNet: AI-driven Plant Root Analysis
Berkeley Lab scientists from the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research (AMCR) and Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Divisions developed RhizoNet, which harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the process of root image analysis with exceptional accuracy.
EcoFAB: A Tool for Combating Climate Change and Training the Next Generation
Fabricated ecosystems—EcoFABs—are plastic, takeout box–sized growth chambers developed at Berkeley Lab to be a standardized and reproducible platform for conducting experiments on model plants and the microbes that live around their roots. A greater understanding of how plants and microbes work together to store vast amounts of atmospheric carbon in the soil will help in the design of better bioenergy crops for the fight against climate change.
Pete Andeer, Robot Wrangler
For Pete Andeer, the idea to help solve some of our planet’s larger environmental issues came while he was living and working abroad. Now he's on the team that's building an all-in-one experimental robot station to understand the mechanics of plant and microbe interactions like never before.
