At October 28 and 29 the new #wheat experiments could be sown in the #FIP lots after a dark and wet October that didn't allow our soils to dry out sufficiently for sowing. A new European Elite set was contributed by 26 #breeders from all over Europe (Thank you so much). We planted 290 varieties including 40 Varieties of the European #PHENET wheat panel. Thanks Simon, Florent, Brigitta, Afef and Lukas for all the help.

A small, modular, #RaspberryPi-controlled low-cost #OpenSource #imaging platform to reveal spatiotemporal insight into #plant #leaf elongation & movement:

Introducing.. PhenoCaterra for autonomous photosynthesis measurements in the field The robot screens for photosynthetic efficiency, assessing growth performance and stress tolerance in real time. It is supported by the Forschungszentrum Jülich providing the light-induced fluorescence transient (LIFT) device and the laser-weeding robot start-up caterra (https://caterra.org/). Thanks to funding from the ETH seed grant.

Looking to map crop characteristics from space?
We use field phenotyping data and space-borne satellite imagery to provide more reliable estimates of crop traits such as Green Leaf Area Index or Canopy Chlorophyll Content in winter wheat with large spatial coverage.

China Uses DNA to Map Faces, With Help From the West

To unlock the genetic mysteries behind the human face, the police in China turned to Chinese scientists with connections to leading institutions in Europe.

[P]olice sought to prevent two Times reporters from conducting interviews in Tumxuk.... [and] later forced them to delete all photos, audio and video recordings taken on their phones in Tumxuk.
