The Botanik-Tagung 2024 - the International Conference of the German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) took place from 15 - 19 September 2024 at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
DPPN e.V. organized a phenotyping workshop on September 18, 2024. More than 70 participants attended the workshop! The program included a keynote lecture on phenotyping plant-plant interactions, followed by DPPN access presentations. We highlighted the importance of phenotyping and gave an overview how to access the DPPN facilities.
Many thanks to all participants and speakers for stimulating discussions!

- VOC-based phenotyping of plants under stress, Jana Barbro Winkler, Helmholtz Munich
- Conclusion
In der neusten Auflage des Sofa Events Pflanzenforschung dreht sich alles um die „Königin der Feldfrüchte“ – die Zuckerrübe. Als größter Lieferant von Zucker in Europa ist sie für Landwirte, Industrie und Konsumenten so wichtig, dass die Pflanze mit großem Aufwand und High-Tech erforscht wird. Die Zuckerrübe muss sogar zum MRT!
Dr. Isabel Keller (RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau) und Dr. Benjamin Pommerrenig (JKI Quedlinburg) berichten live über Ihre Arbeit: Was macht die Zuckerrübe so spannend? Warum müssen wir ihren Lebenszyklus unter die Lupe nehmen? Und was verrät uns der Blick in die lebende, wachsende Wurzel?

Das Experiment "BetaFlorage - An MRI-based analysis of sugar beet taproot plasticity during inflorescence formation" wurde im Rahmen des vom BMBF geförderten Projektes DPPN-Access (Grant Agreement 031B1217) gefördert und in Kooperation mit dem Forschungszentrum Jülich durchgeführt.
The Plant2030 status seminar, is the annual meeting of plant research initiatives funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This year, the Plant2030 status seminar took place from March 20-22, 2023 in Potsdam. The agenda included keynote lectures, project presentations as talks, posters and an elevator pitch session.
The DPPN provided an overview of the current project status of the “DPPN- Access” project, outlined the available facilities and summarized the access projects that were enabled at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research Gatersleben and the Helmholtz Munich. We presented an access example called BetaFlorage: “MRI-based analysis of sugar beet taproot plasticity during inflorescence formation” from Dr. Isabel Keller, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau.
Additionally, Melike Aksu, PhD from RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau, presented her work on the DPPN-Access as a poster. She participated in the elevator pitch and won one of the three awards granted with 500 EURO each, kindly provided by GFPi.
Many thanks to all participants for stimulative discussions!
