Plant biotic agent phenotyping platform and process of phenotyping

A method of identification of plant resistance or tolerance to drought comprising:

• sowing a seed plant on a substrate with a standard moisture in at least one pot of a phenotyping platform comprising:
• a container hermetically sealed with a lid delimiting an internal space divided into two spaces,
• a lower internal space which comprises at least one thermostat immersed in a temperature transfer liquid;
• and
• an upper internal space, the surface of the temperature transfer liquid being the border between the lower internal space and the upper internal space;
• the lid comprising at least one orifice which is adapted to fit a pot and at least one pot whose bottom part is contained in the upper internal space and which is adapted to receive plant seed and to enable growth of the plant;
• wherein the pot has such a size that when it is placed within the orifice, the pot is not in contact with the temperature transfer liquid;
• wherein the pot comprises a plant seed sowed on a substrate;
• and wherein the platform is configured to determine the resistance or tolerance to drought;
• cultivating the plant, according to controlled drought condition;
• recovering the plants after a predetermined duration of culture;
• and
• noting the roots growth and architecture on the plant.
