Genes provide a toolbox by which plants can interact with their spatially and temporally highly dynamic environment. The environment of shoots and roots are distinctly different in their spatial and temporal structures. State-of-the-art phenotyping allows deep analysis of these interactions using imaging and even tomographic devices above- and below-ground.

This webinar will introduce the concept of plant-environment interaction in different spatial and temporal domains and will describe some case studies with modern technologies to study these interactions. It will also define the ESFRI Plant Phenotyping Research Infrastructure EMPHASIS, and the opportunities for accessing these globally unique facilities for deep phenotyping as well as high-throughput and field phenotyping
