by Jez,Jakub Jan. 22, 2018

Jan. 22, 2018

Dear all, We have completed the LED light installation at the GMI phytotrons as well as the exchange of all air tubes. The LED providing company will be visiting us during the next couple of weeks for the final fine tuning of the light conditions. The upgrade of the MFPL phytotrons is delayed due to delivery problems. I will keep you informed on a new date for installation. In case of any questions please do not hesitate to contact me or Borries.

Reminder: Registration Deadline APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging powered by PHENOSPEX
by Jez,Jakub Sept. 29, 2017

Sept. 29, 2017

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.

Country odor PlantS Facility
by Jez,Jakub July 8, 2017

July 8, 2017

Dear colleagues, You might already have noticed the lovely country odor in the PlantS Facility (so far GMI location only). It originates from the new soil batch. We are in contact with the supplier; however, we are not sure if all bags are affected. If in doubt, please feel free to open a new bag. Due to the strongly fluctuating quality of the ED63 substrate, we will test four different Klasmann Substrates during summer. Details will follow in time. In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact us. Best, Jakub Sent from an ipad - please excuse typos.

I’ve also attached slides that any of you can use to promote our COST action and the upcoming event in Portugal. The fully booked Summer School Plant Phenotyping took place from 12 till 15 July. This year for the first time at the Wageningen UR campus. 45 participants participated in this special program organized together by The Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB) from the university of Nottingham and Wageningen UR. The diverse group of participants (22 nationalities and half from industry) learned in four days everything about the latest imaging techniques in plant phenotyping. The participants from industry were for instance from breeding companies like Enza Zaden, Bayer, Anthura, RijkZwaan and from other relevant stake holders for our COST action. During the course we took plenty of time for practical experiments, questions, discussions and social interaction with the teachers from Wageningen UR, Nottingham, guest speakers and sponsors (PhenoSpex<http://phenospex.com/>, LemnaTec<http://www.lemnatec.com/>, PSI<http://www.psi.cz/>, Avantes<http://www.avantes.com/>, DataVision<http://batenburg-mechatronica.nl/datavision>, SpectraPartners<http://www.spectrapartners.nl/>, Syngenta<http://www4.syngenta.com/>, Pixelteq<http://pixelteq.com/>). In these demos and the guided tour we focussed on the applied end-use of imaging in phenotyping with example of public-private partnership outcome with industry. The summer school will be organized again 10-14 of July 2017: http://www.wur.nl/en/activity/Summer-school-on-image-analysis-for-plant-phe… So if you/ colleagues are interested, please sign up for this event.
