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.
