Details: Phenotyping: Quantitative Analysis of Structure and
Function of Plants
ABSTRACT
Plant phenotyping is often a bottleneck for the
identification of gene function. The talk will
illustrate, how modern technologies can be used to
quantify plant growth, transport, photosynthesis and
exchange processes at a mechanistic, high-throughput and
finally on a field level. An integrated concept of plant
phenotyping of dynamic plant function and structure
based on defined genetic material, adequate
environmental simulation and monitoring as well as
novel, mostly non-invasive sensors will be presented.
Integration into automated systems increases throughput
and accuracy of the results. Systematic approaches for
the development of phenotyping technologies and
protocols as well as their integration into databases
will be presented. The role of heterogeneous and dynamic
environments will be highlighted as one of the crucial
aspects of plant phenotyping for the identification of
relevant functions. An outlook will be presented on
future technologies and the integration of non-invasive
and invasive analysis of plants.
