About
Purdue Moves original investment in the Institute for Plant Sciences more than five years ago has positioned the University as a global leader in plant sciences research, positively impacting agriculture in Indiana and around the world.
As part of Purdue’s Next Moves, Plant Sciences 2.0 will advance our global leadership. We possess the unique expertise and innovative technologies to develop plants with enhanced nutritional and sustainability attributes. These same tools will enable us to manage forests, mitigate wildfires and diseases.

FEATURED STORIES
MULTISCALE PHENOTYPING
We can determine the genetic makeup of a plant in a lab. But the real-world environment influences the expression of genes, impacting its physical appearance and performance. A phenotype is the physical, observable and measurable trait of a plant after it interacts with its environment.
Purdue has invested in phenotyping technology across multiple scales to become a national leader in phenomics and part of an international community to accelerate innovation. This continuum of technologies is driving plant sciences research from the lab to the field, in Indiana and around the world.
