KAUST Plant Growth Core Lab presents
High-throughput Plant Phenotyping training
November 11-13, 2019
8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
KAUST building 16, level 3, room 3101
The KAUST Plant Growth Core Lab (PG) is pleased to invite you to a High-throughput Plant Phenotyping training covering the following sessions:
- Session 1 – November 11 – “Theory and operation of high throughput plant phenotyping system from Photon Systems Instruments (PSI).” This session covers the steps between growing plants and getting the automated measurements of the camera system correctly. It also covers how to manage the collected data in the vendor-provided software.
- Session 2 – November 12 – Phenotyping data from RGB, infrared and fluorescence cameras – creating data and avoiding pitfalls. This session covers methods between “camera caption” and “data production.” We will discuss image datasets, masking plant data, extracting data values and understanding the meaning of the data values.
- Session 3 – November 13 – Scientific analysis of plant indicator data (by Magda Julkowska – Research Scientist Center for Desert Agriculture). This session covers the extraction of information in a reproducible manner to achieve scientifically publishable results. Issues like data quality, determination of outliers and interpretation of measurement combinations will be discussed.
All KAUST researchers, students and staff are encouraged to participate in this special event.
Registration closes on Thursday, November 7, 2019. Please register in a timely manner as seating is limited. For registration and further information, please contact Greenhouse@kaust.edu.sa.
