Controlled Environment High Precision Phenotyping

the next step in Plant Phenomics precision

Two industry leaders in plant science research work together to launch the next generation in Plant Phenomics research.
LemnaTec and Conviron announce a collaboration to deliver a new generation of plant Phenomics platforms. The novel systems will integrate LemnaTec Scanlyzer3D technology with Conviron’s expertise in controlled environments. Solutions will be engineered to each client’s unique requirements.

Prof. Mark Tester about the The Plant Accelerator™

http://www.plantaccelerator.org.au/

"...LemnaTec has provided us with a unique, integrated package of cutting edge imaging and conveyor belt technologies to place at the core of The Plant Accelerator facility. Without this, we would have taken many more years to get to the position in which we are now, where we are able to image and process large numbers of plants, and thus undertake forward genetic studies of plant growth and response to their environment. Such studies would not previously have been possible, so, with this LemnaTec equipment, in our facility, we can now undertake experiments not previously feasible.

64th International Symposium on Crop Protection

May 22 2012 in Ghent, Belgium

The 64th International Symposium on Crop Protection on Tuesday May 22, 2012 will be held at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering of the Ghent University, Coupure links 653, BE-9000 Ghent, Belgium.

The Symposium will focus on new developments in all aspects of crop protection. The programme will include a plenary session with two invited papers and parallel sessions with submitted papers related to the following subjects:

      1. Phytopathology

2012 World Congress on In Vitro Biology

June 3-7, 2012 in Bellevue, WA, USA

The 2012 World Congress will be held from Sunday, June 3 – Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington, just 9 miles east of Seattle.  If you have ever attended an SIVB annual meeting, you have already come to appreciate the high caliber science that is the benchmark of these events.  Our World Congresses, held once every 4 years, are even more impactful as we welcome even greater participation from our colleagues around the globe. 

29th Annual IPG Symposium

May 23-25, 2012 in Columbia, MO, USA

Plant Physiology in the "Omics" Era
May 23 - 25, 2012

The Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) is a community of MU faculty, students, postdoctoral fellows, and professionals who are pursuing novel, creative, and transformative ideas in the field of plant biology. Established in 1981, the IPG seeks to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists engaged in plant molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, evolution, ecology, and computer science. 

73rd Annual Meeting of the ASB

April 4-7 2012 in Athens, GA, USA

The Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) will hold its 73rd annual meeting in Athens, Georgia. All information concerning the meeting will be available on this page. 

Please check back frequently for updates, and if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in Athens!

GRC - Salt & Water Stress in Plants

June 24-29, 2012 in Hong Kong, China

Drought and salinity cause serious global crop losses. Dramatic progress has been made over recent years at identifying individual biological mechanisms, genes and networks that are required for plant survival under abiotic stress. The emerging main challenges are to obtain an understanding of how these processes are coordinated within the plant, identification of many still unknown key players and genes and how different environmental stresses and their signaling pathways are integrated into an overall response.

Automated Imaging & High-Throughput Phenotyping

April 10-14, 2012 in Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA

The purpose of this Cold Spring Harbor meeting is to explore and encourage exchange of ideas and results about the development of automated imaging systems and image analysis, and how these systems and approaches are accelerating efforts to undertake phenotyping of large numbers of biological samples in parallel and/or high throughput mode.
