Phenotyping Technologies in Plant-environment Interactions – Integrated Analysis of Omics Data
The course series aims to introduce the emerging technologies related to i) controlled environments that allow simulations and testing future climatic conditions, ii) automated and image based plant phenotyping technologies that are to remove bottlenecks in between genotype to phenotype screens, iii) high throughput field phenotyping technologies and iv) transcriptomics with bioinformatics and R-computing that are required for the deeper understanding of the molecular networks. The objective of the course series is to provide the participating students with the basic knowledge and understanding of the emerging fields of plant phenomics and data processing that can serve breeding efforts in modern agriculture.

The changing climate demands developing faster breeding methods to provide effective solutions for the future agriculture. This course series aims to introduce the emerging research fields of high throughput plant phenotyping used for plant-environment interactions from highly controlled environments to field conditions, in combination with omics technologies including bioinformatics and ‘-omics’ analysis. Learning outcome: Participation in lectures and daily learning diaries (2 ECTS) • knowledge about the crop physiology in greenhouse context and management methods • knowledge about the whole range of analysis sensors available for plant phenotyping • gaining understanding of the opportunities and challenges in experimental design in plant phenotyping Participation in the workshops (1 ECTS) • gaining hands on experience in plant-environment treatments, image based data acquisition, and molecular omics technologies, and data processing Literature study, presentation and a research plan as pre and post assignments (2 ECTS) • gaining deeper understanding of the chosen biological process and chosen technology through own study • application of gained knowledge in the research planContent
