The meeting will give you the unique opportunity to present and discuss your research in a highly multidisciplinary and international environment. We also offer a technical workshop on root phenotyping, including a field visit. We intend to bring together biologists, breeders, technology developer, imaging experts, statisticians and bioinformaticians. The keynote lecture will be given by Michelle Watt, Scientific Director of the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, Plant Sciences (IBG-2) Jülich, followed by EPPN2020 Speakers, selected talks and a poster session in the Festsaal at BOKU Vienna. On the second day we offer a technical workshop on root phenotyping, taking place at BOKU Tulln.

Dear colleagues, The registration deadline for the Modern Plant Microscopy Meeting is approaching: Sunday the 4th February 2018. Free registration: http://www.appn.at/registration/ Please find details in the invitation email below. Looking forward to meeting you in Vienna! Kind regards, Stefanie & the organizing committee Von: APPN [mailto:appn-bounces@lists.vbcf.ac.at] Im Auftrag von Jez,Jakub Gesendet: Dienstag, 02. Jänner 2018 15:59 An: APPN community <appn(a)lists.vbcf.ac.at> Betreff: [APPN] Modern Plant Microscopy Meeting - 16th Feb 2018, @VBC Dear all, It is a pleasure to invite you the Modern Plant Microscopy Meeting: Looking at a dead slice of cork through the ocular of his self-built compound microscope, Robert Hooke could for the first time see that there is an odd, yet somewhat periodic, underlying order. He decided to call the little building blocks he was seeing “cells”, and chronicled them along with sketches of many other natural objects in his now classic treatise on the subject – Micrographia. This was over 350 years ago, and optical microscopy techniques for studying plants have grown and flourished in many diverse directions since. Driven by our insatiable desire for understanding the inner molecular and structural workings of plants, aided by some “clever” tricks that allow us to squeeze out hidden information, and supported by the latest technological advances, optical microscopy is almost an eternity from where it was during Hooke’s fateful first experiments. The “Modern Plant Microscopy” meeting gives center stage to a hand full of leading European researchers in the field of optical microscopy and spectroscopy, to present their latest findings and how they have helped us gain a deeper insight into the complex processes underlying the biology of plants using different cutting edge techniques. Speakers include...

IPPN Imaging webinar - Malia Gehan - 8th of Feb 2018
by Jez,Jakub Jan. 23, 2018

Jan. 23, 2018

Dear all, The next IPPN Imaging webinar will take place on February 8th at 16:00 (CET), which is at 10:00 in the morning Eastern time in the US. The 4th presenter is Malia Gehan (Danforth Plant Science Centre)/ moderator: Rick van de Zedde (WUR) and her talk is about ‘Quantifying Variation of Crop Resilience Under Temperature Stress’. Join the meeting using this link:join.me/plant-phenotyping<https://join.me/plant-phenotyping> Check using this link when this webinar is scheduledin your time zone<https://join.me/timezone/1518102000000/1518105600000>. To dial in by phone: check these phone numbers<https://join.me/intphone/536399875/0> Conference ID: 536-399-875 # Short Abstract This research develops high-throughput phenotyping technologies and open-source platform-independent analysis tools (PlantCV;http://plantcv.danforthcenter.org/) to quantify natural variation under temperature stress. An accession panel of B. distachyon was screened under, control, drought, heat, and drought and heat conditions and the resulting imaging data was examined for traits that approximate water-use-efficiency, biomass accumulation, and tissue senescence. Bio Malia Gehan, Ph.D. is an Assistant Member and Principal Investigator at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, who focuses understanding mechanisms of crop resilience under temperature stress. To study temperature stress and natural variation, her lab uses a number of high-throughput and high-resolution image-based phenotyping technologies. She co-developed and maintains the open-source open-development suite of image analysis tools, PlantCV. NB: At our 3rd webinar of Hendrik Poorter we had more than 200 people signing up online, and several of you experienced technical difficulties due to the fact that our webinar tool Join.me<http://Join.me> only allowed 50 participants. Our apologies for this. We have upgraded this number up to 250.
