Presentation of DPPN-Access at the Plant2030 status seminar

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 meeting comprised in three days exciting scientific exchange on applied plant research. The agenda included keynote lectures, project presentations as talks, posters and an elevator pitch session.

The German Plant Phenotyping Network (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 (FZJ), Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) Gatersleben and the Helmholtz Munich (HMGU). We also 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. The presentations were judged democratically by all participants of the conference.

Many thanks to all participants for stimulative discussions!
