Dear all, We will open for you the doors of PHENOPlant next Tue, 29th between 9-5pm! Take a walk through the VBC forest (Norway spruce, black pine and oak trees) and get insights to modern, high-throughput plant phenotyping technologies incl. PAM chlorophyl fluorescence imaging, thermal imaging, 3D scanning, and hyperspectral imaging (FFG #PHENOPlant). Currently we are running another interesting tree drought-stress experiment project together with the Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jezjakub_christmastree-phenoplant-phenoplant… https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jezjakub_phenoplant-phenoplant-innovation-ac… Simply drop by anytime between 9-5, the VBCF PlantS team will be around to guide you and answer your questions.

Cooling system error phytotron #21
by Jez,Jakub 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Dear all, the colling system of phytotron #21 broke yesterday evening casuing a temperature increase up to 25,4C. Hopefully, this hardware issue can be fixed today afternoon. For the meantime, and for the case this issue can’t be fixed in reasonable time, your plants will be moved down the corridor to phytotron #18, which will be set to identical environmental conditions as #21. We will keep you posted. Best, Jakub.

Austrian Plant Phenotyping Network (APPN) news!
by Jez,Jakub 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Dear APPN member, dear friends, First, I do deeply apologize for the long break of APPN activities and communication. This was mainly caused by the super busy times constructing an implementing PHENOPlant (high-throughput plant phenotyping infrastructure), COVID and my paternity leave. I would like to share with you some more or less important news and updates: 1. I would like to point your attention to a great opportunity to get FUNDED/FREE ACCESS to PHENOPlant phenotyping service (and many other services!) via the EU AgroServ project. The call (pre-submission phase) was just launched yesterday in the framework of the first AgroServ conference and will close 22nd September. Webpage (still under construction): https://agroserv.eu/ Please note for your potential application that crossdisciplinarity is key for a successful evaluation! Your project should involve at least two Agroserv partner (ERICS). The more the better. PHENOPlant would be covered by the EuroBioImaging ERIC (as Austria is still not full EMPHASIS member, see below). Please let me know in case of interest and I will keep you in the loop. 1. There is some progress in the EU ESFRI EMPHASIS project. We are in very good and constructive discussions with the ministry. Currently Austria hasn’t joined the EMPHASIS project officially; we have a so called “observatory country status”. We are working hard towards Austria’s full membership to allow you to profit from the EMPHASIS services: https://emphasis.plant-phenotyping.eu/ 1. Bundesforschungszentrum für Wald (BFW) has recently joined the APPN board. Welcome! The full member list and the representatives from your Organization can be found here: https://appn.at/about/ 1. Here is a short video of PHENOPlant in action taken during the EU UNTWIST project (AIT, Jonak): https://youtu.be/rjt-_PZMkvc 1. The next APPN Meeting in in planning for the end of this year/beginning of next year. 6. I would like to remind you that the APPN member mailing list (300+ APPN member) is also available to you; to share your news, open positions, collaboration requests, open call announcements, events etc. : APPN community appn(a)lists.vbcf.ac.at<mailto:appn@lists.vbcf.ac.at> Let me know in case of any questions, wishes, complains. Have a great day, best, Jakub.

Issues with humidification @MPL phytotrons
by Jez,Jakub 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Dear all, The main water pump of the MPL phytotrons broke. The spare parts are in stock, and the pump will be repaired asap. This issue affects mainly the humidification system, thus we can’t guarantee the set humidity values of 60% rel. hum. In well booked phytotrons this is not an issue as there is enough transpiration to keep the setpoints. This is the status of the rel. humidity: #18: 44% #19: 60% #20: 60% #21: 55% #22: 53% #23: 52% The automated watering system is not affected, as we found a workaround that works well. I will inform you as soon as the pump is back in service. Have a good evening. Best, Jakub.

VBCF PlantS: Transistion to new booking system PPMS
by Seitner,Sebastian 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Dear all, as announced in a previous email we switched to Stratocore PPMS as a booking system for our Phytotrons today. From now on the old system in the MPL intranet will not be available anymore. You can reach PPMS via https://booking.vbc.ac.at For an explanation on how to use PPMS to book our chambers use the tutorial at the following link: https://www.vbcf.ac.at/myvbcf-sim/stratocoreppms-quick-start-guide-plants/ All previous bookings have successfully been transferred to the new system, so no action is necessary on your side. We know that the system is not perfectly suited for our use case, but it was necessary to migrate to a new system and as PPMS was already established we tried to use it as best as we could. If you have any issues or questions do not hesitate to contact us via plants(a)vbcf.ac.at<mailto:plants@vbcf.ac.at> For MPL or external users (e.g. University of Vienna): Please follow the outlined steps below to gain access to the booking system. This is necessary to synchronize your data and permissions. It might be the case that you are not able to book chambers until the next day. MPL Users * visit https://booking.vbc.ac.at * choose facility VBCF PlantS * click “Continue to Login” * click the MaxPerutzLabs Logo * login with your MaxPerutzLabs login credentials (the same you also use for the MaxPerutzLabs intranet) * fill out the user request form (most important: Group! All other fields are optional) * click send external Users * visit https://booking.vbc.ac.at * choose facility VBCF PlantS * click “Continue to Login” * click button “External login / registration” at the bottom * click “Register” at the bottom * fill out form completely and click Register at the bottom Best regards, Sebastian Seitner [signature_459486170] Sebastian Seitner Software Engineer, Plant Sciences Facility T +43 1 7962324 9836<tel:+43179623249836> sebastian.seitner(a)vbcf.ac.at<mailto:sebastian.seitner@vbcf.ac.at> Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities GmbH Dr. Bohr-Gasse 3 1030 Vienna Austria www.vbcf.ac.at/plants<https://www.vbcf.ac.at/plants> [A picture containing text, indoor, wall Description automatically generated] FFG PHENOPlant<https://www.ffg.at/sites/default/files/allgemeine_downloads/strukturprogram…>: Austrias 1st multi-sensor, high-throughput plant phenotyping infrastructure launched 2021!

VBCF PlantS: NEW BOOKING SYSTEM (Stratocore PPMS) - 18th July 2022
by Jez,Jakub 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Dear all, on Monday, the 18th July 2022, we will switch our present booking system (MPL intranet) to Stratocore PPMS. PPMS is already in successful operation at e.g. GMI, IMP, VBCF, MPL and ISTA. All present bookings from the MPL Intranet will be transferred to PPMS by us, and there is no action on your side needed. Detailed instructions on how to access and use the new booking system will follow soon, and in time. Pre-warning: The PPMS is not 100% suited to deal with our use case (trays in phytotrons; and long-term bookings) as it was originally designed for booking of microscopes, rooms, etc. on an hourly basis. However, we did our best to establish some painless workarounds to make it fit our special needs. The booking procedures incl. the workarounds will be explained to you in detail soon. Best regards, Jakub.
