International Plant Phenotyping Symposium – PhenoVeg 2023
PhenoVeg 2023 invites the science community to exchange knowledge on high throughput plant phenotyping to strengthen innovation in crop research and plant breeding.
Breeding improved crop varieties is more urgent than ever. Changing markets and consumer preferences, emerging crop pests and diseases, population growth and climate change, all require improved crop varieties with good yield and quality, high nutritional content and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. At the same time, our current agricultural production systems must become more sustainable and use less water and fertilizer, and meet new needs of agroecology, or urban or vertical farming.
To identify genetic resources with useful traits for breeding and to make breeding itself more efficient, information on crop phenotypes is essential. High throughput plant phenotyping methodology and infrastructure helps researchers to capture new traits, and supports selection in breeding.
With support from the Council of Agriculture (Taiwan), the World Vegetable Center, together with the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute, the National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica, invite you to the International Plant Phenotyping Symposium – PhenoVeg 2023, to present and discuss the latest developments and results in the field of phenotyping, to support crop research and breeding for a more sustainable future.
Invited speakers will attend from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Australia, the USA and the EU. Scientific sessions and topics will include the following:
– Sensors, cameras and automatization of phenotyping
– Big Data, deep learning and modeling
– Phenomics enabled plant research and breeding: Ecology and biotic interactions, Plant Development, Climate change, Phenomics as a breeding tool, and Phenomics in precision agriculture
