Our community paper from the Nimbios Workshop "Morphological plant modeling: Unleashing geometric and topological potential within the plant sciences" is available as preview.

Alexander Bucksch joined the editorial board of Plant Methods to lead the phenotypic section. The journal focuses broadly on the development of new methods within the plant sciences - computational and experimental - to accelerate new scientific discovery.

In March 2017 we host Dr. Lobet, the head of the Plant Modelling Lab, for a seminar. The Plant Modelling Lab is established jointly between the IBG-3 Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) and the Earth and Life Institute, at the Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium).

Overcoming the Law of the Hidden in Cyberinfrastructures

In January 2017 we host our collaborator Dr. Saengwilai from Mahidol University, Thailand at the lab. Dr. Saengwilai founded the first root research lab in Thailand.

"...iPlant announced it will host a new platform, Digital Imaging of Root Traits (DIRT), that lets scientists in the field measure up to 76 root traits merely by uploading a photograph of the roots...."
