Measuring the Photosynthetic phenome

Symposium
Measuring the Photosynthetic phenome
A meeting to honour the retirement of Jan Snel
7-9 July, 2014
(Forum building, Wageningen University)
SCOPE OF THE MEETING
SPEAKERS
Our own increasing demands on plants for food and the
bio-based economy will depend on increases in
assimilation in crop plants. Understanding the operation
and limitations on photosynthesis is an essential step
towards understanding the growth and productivity of
plants and improving their performance. However in the
absence of techniques that can measure effectively this
complex process, our hopes to better understand and
improve it would be no more than tears in the rain.
 Herbert van Amerongen (Wageningen University)
This meeting will offer a multidisciplinary programme in
which
the
state-of-the-art
in
photosynthetic
measurement techniques will be described, along with a
special session dealing with developments in highthroughput
and
other
relevant
techniques
for
photosynthetic phenotyping.
