Current and future applications of phenotyping for plant breeding

Plants develop by a complex interaction of genotypes with the environments which determines their structure and function and thus essential performance parameters such as yield, productivity or efficient use of resources. To understand these fundamental processes we need to quantitatively assess the phenotype and generate a link to the genotype in order to understand the genetic basis.

The Summer School in Gatersleben September 25-27 is organized in collaboration with the German Crop BioGreenformatics Network of the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (GCBN/de.NBI). The course provides hands-on introduction to useful bioinformatics tools for biologists with little or no previous knowledge. The training will enable biologists to process their own small and large datasets using R and Linux based methods and is entirely computer-based with interspersed lectures.

Polyploidization is one of the vital events in the life history of land plants. In this workshop, we focus on the origin of polyploidization and how genetic information from diverse genomic backgrounds is integrated, regulated and maintained in progenies. 

The Strasburger Workshop 2017 will gather breeders as well as evolutionary biologists, ecologists, and developmental biologists and will encompass in-depth seminars and discussions to strengthen further understanding of genome plasticity.  This workshop especially offers young scientists an opportunity to exchange their experiences and techniques as well as gather knowledge while exploring the principles underlying the union of two genomes in one cell.

Trinity College Dublin are organising an international conference on endophytes, taking place from 28-29th August 2017 in the historic setting of Ireland’s oldest and most prestigious university.

The two-day conference will be centred on the core themes of manipulating the plant microbiome for sustainable plant production in a changing world and will highlight cutting-edge research using endophytes and will synthesise the most promising approaches to endophyte supported plant production.
