Key note speaker
|
Anne-Katrin Mahlein |
Anne-Katrin Mahlein is a trained phytopathologist and studied agriculture at the University of Bonn, Germany. Since 2017 she is head of the Institute of Sugar Beet Research (IfZ) Göttingen, Germany an affiliated institute of the University of Göttingen. She studies plant phenotyping and plant-pathogen interactions using mobile sensing and the integration of intuitive and efficient data analysis methods. These digital applications are widely used in plant breeding. Main projects include the digital field trials “FarmerSpace” (BMEL) and the DFG-funded cluster of excellence “PhenoRob”. |
|
|
Kramer's research focuses on how plants convert light into usable energy, with a special emphasis on the dynamic regulation of photosynthesis. His lab has developed innovative tools for real-time, in vivo monitoring of photosynthetic processes—tools now widely used to better understand plant performance and environmental responses. In 2023, he became the Founding Scientific Director of the Jan IngenHousz Institute in The Netherlands, heading an international effort to advance photosynthesis research and sustainable crop improvement through innovation in open. |
|
Pierre Martre |
Pierre Matre is a Research Director at INRAE, Montpellier, France. His research focuses on cereal adaptation to climate change. His group develops and integrates a combination of ecophysiological, phenomics, and modeling approaches to predict the responses of genotypes to heat and drought scenarios and identify traits that can be used by breeders and integrated in genomic prediction pipelines. He is the director of the INRAE – Institut Agro Montpellier Joint Research Unit LEPSE, a PI of the French Institute on Digital Agriculture #DigitAg, and co-leader of the AgMIP-Wheat team. |

Sessions description
EPPS will provide a platform for the presentation of recent results in dedicated plenary and poster sessions, it will demonstrate the impact generated by plant phenomics and discuss the future development of plant phenomics. A complementary focus session will address the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in plant phenomics.
Participants can submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations related to following sessions:
-
Session 1: Phenotyping for stress resilience and tolerance
Phenotyping of traits associated wit abiotic stress and reliance as well as biotic stress tolerance under controlled and field conditions -
Session 2: Phenotyping for innovative practices
This session includes practices related to specific crops (minor crops, orphan crops, perennial crops, bioenergy crops etc. ), smart agriculture and management, intercropping systems, low input agriculture, regenerative agriculture etc. -
Session 3: Phenotyping the hidden half
Phenotyping of traits associated with root architecture, growth dynamics, and interactions with soil microbiomes etc. -
Session 4: Phenotyping for improvement of yield and quality
Identifying traits linked to higher productivity and superior nutritional or market value, breeding applications under controlled and field conditions
Additional the sessions include (no abstract submission possible):
-
Excursion
One session in a greenhouse and one session in a field site with demos and presentations -
Focus session: Basic and advanced use of AI in plant phenomics
The session will explore the transformative role of AI in plant phenomics, with invited speakers sharing insights into its basic understanding of AI and advanced application followed by a discussion about the role of AI to address complex challenges in plant science -
Panel discussion: Future development in plant phenomics
The discussion will include an impulse presentation outlining future challenges in agriculture in Europe and address the future directions of plant phenomics to address these challenges including input from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
