Abstract
Phenotypic screening and subsequent target identification approaches are very valuable to identify chemical probes that can be used to explore the connection between phenotypes and biological pathways. However, assessing a phenotypic effect in plants in a high-throughput fashion is a challenging task and often requires expensive readout devices. In this chapter, we describe a cost-effective multi-parametric screening procedure that is compatible with liquid-handling systems and that enables the assessment of phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings in an automated way.
