Abstract

The development of new phenomics approaches to image and process data from the subcellular to ecosystem-scale has accelerated over the past decade. Many of these tools are produced “in-house” within a single lab or a group of collaborating labs, making it hard to keep up with the state-of-the-art for phenomics hardware and software development. The Plant Cell Atlas Phenomics Committee is creating a collaborative space that connects phenomics developers with each other and with the greater plant science community, with the goal of facilitating wide-reaching collaborations. To do this, we will be hosting a video series called “How We Built It” where developers provide a short tour of their inventions and relevant biological applications. We will follow the series with a more in-depth networking event where plant scientists can connect with the inventors and discuss collaborative opportunities. Our goal is to streamline the invention of new phenotyping tools and broaden the application of existing tools.
