Best, Jakub Dear colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to the 2nd meeting of the Czech Plant Phenotyping Network (CzPPN) discussing environmental simulation and indoor phenotyping. The goal of CzPPN is to mediate access to the national infrastructure of existing testing systems and to contribute to the enhancement of the community of experts and users in field of high-throughput testing and field phenotyping. The meeting will take place on November 29, 2018, 9:00am – 4:30pm at the University Campus Bohunice, conference room 211/building A35. (Free) registration: http://www.ceitec.eu/2nd-czppn-meeting Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order): Llorenç Cabrera-Bosquet, EMPHASIS, EPPN2020 & INRA, France. Jeremy Harbinson, Wageningen University, Netherlands. Karel Klem, CzechGlobe - Global Change Research Institute, Czech Republic. Stefanie Koemeda, APPN & VBCF Plant Sciences Facility, Austria. Stien Mertens, Ghent University, Belgium. Klára Panzarová, Photon Systems Instruments, Czech Republic. Mirko Pavicic, University of Helsinki, Finland. Roland Pieruschka, ESFRI EMPHASIS, EPPN2020 & FZ Jülich, Germany. Lukáš Spíchal, coordinator of the Czech Plant Phenotyping Network (CzPPN) & Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic. Natallia Madzia Valasevich, Plant Sciences Core Facility CEITEC MU, Czech Republic. Lennart Verbraeken, Ghent University, Belgium. For those interested, we will organize 2 parallel excursion tours: to the CEITEC Plant Sciences Core Facility, and to PSI research center with HT phenotyping platform, Drasov. Please feel free to share & spread the word! Looking very much forward to meeting you, Natallia Madzia Valasevich Natallia MADZIA VALASEVICH, Ph.D. | CEITEC Head of Plant Sciences Core Facility Phone: +420 777 482 686 e-mail: natallia.valasevich(a)ceitec.muni.cz<mailto:natallia.valasevich@ceitec.muni.cz> CEITEC – Central European Institute of Technology Masaryk University Kamenice 753/5, Bld.

Hyperspectral root imaging system available at the BOKU

by Jez,Jakub

On behalf of Gernot Bodner: Dear root research-, imaging and phenotyping colleagues, Finally we have established our "Hyperspectral root imaging system" at BOKU. The system allows imaging of plant roots up to more advanced development stages (about 1 meter rooting depth) in the near infrared range (900-1700 nm; 256 bands) and provides a spatial resolution of 0.1 mm. https://plantmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13007-018-0352-1 The NIR imaging particularly allows comparatively high resolution water mapping in the root zone to study water uptake/depletion of single root axes; potentially the spectral features can be used to detect a range of different chemical properties of root and soil encoded in spectral features. In case of interest, don't hesitate to contact us for any possible application. We would be happy to show the system working and extend its usability for the root research/phenotyping community.
