The workshop entitled “An Introduction to Plant Metabolomics” was the second of the five scientific workshops organized by STARGATE. These STARGATE workshops aim to train early-stage researchers (as well as other researchers interested in the topics) in data acquisition tools, data integration and analysis in the scope of the food system. STARGATE partner Wageningen Plant Research…

Dr Gerrit Polder will participate in two photonics workshops on Agri-Food. He will present: Title: ‘Photonics for measuring plant performance and disease detection'. Short description: 'Photonic technology enabled products are frequently used in the agri-food sector to optimize production, to safeguard harvests and to use water, energy and pesticides even more efficiently. The use of imaging and spectroscopy…

A short participative workshop oriented toward practical aspects of plant phenotyping with inexpensive, yet robust, minicomputers coupled with small cameras. Each important step, from system installation, network deploying, time-lapse acquisition, image processing, machine learning and data analysis will be illustrated with talks and hands-on. The target audiences are tech-minded biologists and engineers in charge of phenotyping…
