NEW SOIL for testing: Gramoflor Topf Nr. 2006

by Jez,Jakub

Dear all, There is a new soil substrate available for testing at both PlantS locations: Gramoflor Profi-Substrat Topf Nr. 2006 Why? As you might know, we regularly had inconsistent and low product quality of our standard substrate ED63, in the past. Sometimes the soil is too dry and can’t take water, another time too wet and full of fungi; perhaps you also remember the “country smell” in the Facility. . . On the other hand, the rough structure makes it necessary to sieve the soil for sensitive experiments including HT plant phenotyping. Therefore, we have started looking for a similar but more professional and homogenous substrate to (depending on your feedback, fully or partially) replace the ED63 in future. How? We have propagated Arabidopsis and N. benthamiana on seven new soil types and compared them to the two standard substrates under standard conditions in two independent experiments. Parameters that were scored include all Lemnatec features (size, shape, color etc. over time), flowering time, plant height, dry weight and seed weight and a thorough visual examination by Anneliese. Based on these results we have decided to give the Gramoflor Profi-Substart Topf Nr. 2006 a chance. Overall, the performance of Gramoflor 2006 is highly comparable to ED63 while providing a highly homogeneous structure and batch quality. Please drop us a mail for detailed results. What do we know about the winner: Gramoflor Profi-Substart Topf Nr. 2006 All-purpose potting-soil for professional use, moderately fertilized (1.2 kg/m3), mixture of slightly decomposed bog peat with organic and/or mineral and/or synthetic additives; pH=5.8 (5.4-6.2) same as ED63, medium rough structure, includes clay, mineral fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers. https://www.gramoflor.com/files/profiflyer_de_130115_ansicht.pdf (Line: Topf+TonXL GF-Topf) What will happen to ED63: We will, of course, keep providing the ED63 in parallel and order upon actual usage. In case of questions please contact us. We are very happy to receive your valuable feedback on the new substrate! Kind regards, the VBCF PlantS Team supported by the FFG FEMTech grant (Klara Wuketich)

Re: [Plants-user] Upcoming LED light upgrade of ALL phytotrons

by Jez,Jakub

Dear all, We will start to install the LED panels in the phytotrons #18-23 (MFPL location) next week Tuesday 22nd Mai and expect to finish the work by the end of the week – 25th Mai. The two prototypes in phytotron #21 (with adjustable spectrum) will not be removed. In case of any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

The order will be mainly given by the phytotron number (5-17). For one phytotron we count with around 3-4 hours of work. In praxis, we will exchange one panel by another during full operation of the respective phytotrons – temperature and humidity will not be significantly affected. Of course, we will also take care of your plants. But, please make sure that all older plants are tied up and/or packed in bags. LEDs for the MFPL phytotrons will be delivered in January 2018. For the specs of the LED please refer to the attachment and the e-mail below. Briefly, the spectrum is fixed (see attachment) but the intensity adjustable – for the beginning we will set the same intensity which was set in the old setup (2, 4 or 6 tubes). “We are fully aware that any changes of environmental conditions might influence your experiments, phenotypes etc. and cause issues with repeatability/reproducibility of results.

A high-tech LED light solution by RHENAC (variable spectrum) was already installed in chamber #1 (phenotyping) and #2 (Marchantia) last year and is performing very well. Briefly, the final product design will facilitate i.a. the following: * Plug & play design * a fixed and extensively tested light spectrum which is designed to be as close as possible to full sunlight (spectrum see attachment) * highly homogenous spatial distribution of light intensity and spectrum (minimized edge effects) * up to max. ~320 µmol m-2 s-1 (limit of passive cooling setups) * 8 fixed light intensity steps (á ~40 µmol m-2 s-1 ) plus additional linear adjustments in between The upgrade is planned for the first two weeks of January 2018.

Reminder: Registration Deadline APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging powered by PHENOSPEX

by Jez,Jakub

Dear colleagues, the deadline for the registration to the APPN Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging workshop is approaching! Registration is open till 1st Oct. 2017 on http://www.appn.at/registration/ For details please refer to the mail below and the attachments. Best regards, Jakub Jez -- Dear colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the APPN<http://www.appn.at/> Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging which will take place October 12th & 13th 2017 at the Vienna Biocenter. For the workshop, PHENOSPEX will visit the VBC with their new PlantEye F500 device and perform multispectral 3D scans of your samples. Your plants will be grown at the VBCF PlantS Facility and scanned one day before the workshop. Therefore, we need to receive your seeds in advance (deadline_1). Hands-on data analysis will be performed during the workshop - follow-up discussion of derived results will be discussed on the second day in individual meetings. “PlantEye F500 is a 3D laser scanner combined with multispectral information. It generates 3D point clouds of plants in high resolution and combines it on the fly with a 4-channel multispectral camera in the range of 400-900nm. This unique sensor fusion concept delivers spectral information for each data point and automatically computes a diverse set of validated morphological plant parameters.” Key dates: Workshop: 12th Oct. 20017 Discussion of results: 13th Oct. 2017 Registration: www.appn.at/registration<http://www.appn.at/registration> Deadline_1: 1st Sept. 2017 (if you want your samples to be scanned) Deadline_2: 1st Oct. 2017 (general registration deadline) Please note that there is a limited number of participants – the first come first serve principle applies. Attached to this email please find the workshop flyer for publishing. Please help us to spread the news! We are very much looking forward to meeting you at the Vienna Biocenter in October!
