UK Plant Phenotyping Network
Dear Colleagues,
An initial meeting of the new UK Plant Phenotyping Network is planned for 18 October 2011.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together all those scientists interested in the development and application of automated objective approaches to plant phenotyping. Interdisciplinary interactions between biologists, engineers, computational scientists and mathematicians will be required to integrate and exploit advances in robotics, imaging and computing to enable sensitive, non-destructive, high-throughput analysis of plant growth, function and performance. It is envisaged that this network will facilitate such interactions, develop a community consensus on key issues and provide representation at both a national and international level for UK scientists working or interested in this area.
We plan to hold a half-day meeting at the University of Nottingham Sutton Bonington Campus to discuss the development of a Plant Phenotyping Network within the UK.
We hope you will be able to attend - please put October 18th in your diaries!
An agenda will be circulated in due course but please indicate your interest by replying to [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask] as soon as possible
John Doonan, Tony Pridmore, Malcolm Bennett, Martin Parry and Julie Scholes
