Last year we put emphasis on root phenotyping (https://www.appn.at/2ndappn_eppn2020-2/); this year the main focus will be (although not exclusively) on field phenotyping and “big” data. Other plant phenotyping topics (controlled environments, root phenotyping and others) will be covered by the respective sessions based on the received abstracts. The meeting will take place on June 13, 2019 at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, AT. (Free) registration open: https://www.appn.at/3rdappn/ Please feel free to share & spread the word! Looking very much forward to meeting you, Gernot Bodner, Boris Rewald (local organizers) & Jakub Jez
