Working Groups Description
Working group 1: Phenotyping at the plant level
WG1 is created to meet objective 1 and 4. WG1 will collect, discuss and evaluate information and novel developments in:
- Sensors & image analysis
- Plant physiology/pathology
- Modelling plant growth and real time monitoring
- Establishment of Good Phenotyping Practice (Experimental standards/protocols)
- Environmental monitoring and simulation
Working group 2: Phenotyping at the cell level
WG2 is created to meet objective 2 and 4.WG2 will collect, discuss and evaluate information and novel developments in:
- Metabolomics and flux analysis
- Proteomics
- Transcriptomics
- Genomics
Working group 3: Integration of phenotyping at plant and cell level and translation into good practices for applied end use
WG3 is created to meet objective 3, 4 and 5.WG 3 will follow up the developments made in systems biology by integrating phenotyping on different levels and will collect the developments in translational research:
- Data management & statistics
- Integration of different omics technologies
- Detecting early stress events in the field and green houses and adapting agricultural management (“speaking plant”)
- Defining relevant traits for the transition from greenhouse to the field
- Screening the parents and the offspring of breeding programs and different genetically modified plants
- Screening the biodiversity of European gene bank collections
- Inform and give policy advice to stakeholders
