MIAtecs turns a smartphone into a high-throughput stomatal imaging tool, and turns the images into breeding-ready traits — density, size, aperture, ploidy signal — species by species, site by site.
Two products, one workflow — from leaf to breeding-ready trait table.
Density, size, aperture, spatial distribution — with native climate data integration (VPD, GDD, rainfall).
Explore STOMSTOMmini and STOM adapt to your trial environment, with no compromise on measurement quality.
Controlled multi-genotype trials, tight measurement cycles to track water-stress kinetics.
Portable kit for variety trial campaigns in open field, on-site and at scale.
Fixed environmental conditions, ideal for isolating genotype effect on stomatal response.
Stomatal density and size shift predictably with ploidy level — a fast pre-screen ahead of flow cytometry confirmation.
High-throughput stomatal phenotyping integrated into variety selection for water-use efficiency and stress tolerance.
Evidence of stomatal mode of action structured to support EU Regulation 2019/1009 registration dossiers.
MIAtecs was founded in Marseille to close a gap in plant phenotyping: microscopic-scale traits — stomatal density, size, aperture — are agronomically decisive for water-use efficiency and drought tolerance, but remain slow and expensive to measure at scale.
We work directly with research institutes, seed companies, and agri-cooperatives across Europe, the Americas, and Australia — combining field-deployable imaging with species-specific AI models, delivered as a service, not a black box.
MIAtecs is a member of the Végépolys Valley network.
MIAtecs also operates as a service provider, with our teams traveling across Europe, Africa and Latin America to run your on-site measurement campaigns.
STOMmini gave us a fast, non-destructive way to pre-screen ploidy before committing to flow cytometry — a real time saver across hundreds of lines.
The physiology behind the ploidy screening pipeline, and where it still needs cytometry to confirm.
From kit setup to exported trait table: a walk-through of an on-site acquisition day.
Where to find us next, and what we're showing.
Most engagements start with a paid Phase 1 proof-of-concept — a focused way to test the signal on your own material before committing further.
We'll get back to you shortly.
