The eighth International Plant Phenotyping Symposium (IPPS8) will be held on October 7-11, 2024, in Lincoln, NE: https://www.plant-phenotyping.org/ipps8. IPPS8 is the premiere international conference dedicated to plant phenotyping research and application – an inclusive multidisciplinary field spanning the disciplines biology, computer science, ecology, engineering, mathematics and statistics that uses formal systems to research plants. The theme of the conference is Green Horizons: Navigating the Future of Plant Phenotyping.

This TPPJ special issue will be the official peer-reviewed publication associated with the IPPS8 and will highlight cutting-edge research articles and op-ed contributions. Preference will be given to material presented at the IPPS8, although contributions from the broader plant phenotyping community are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Phenotyping of biotic & abiotic stress responses
• Cutting edge hardware & software developments providing new & exciting research possibilities for plant scientists
• Phenotyping of allocation & source-sink dynamics in woody & herbaceous plants
• Next level AI, Models & Algorithms for Phenomics
• Advancing Crop Phenotyping in African: Exploring Perspectives
• Phenomics for Genebanks: Leveraging diversity towards new phenotypes
• Emerging Frontiers & Special applications in Plant Phenotyping

Manuscript style:

All manuscript submissions will be subject to the standard TPPJ peer review process; see https://www.agronomy.org/publications/journals/author-resources/tppj-instructions for journal style, formatting template, submission instructions, and additional resources.
