Tomato plant and fruit phenotyping
Location: Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Date: 3rd-13th July 2023
Application deadline:June 15, 2023
T
his training course consists of two parts: the first part (3rd July) will be blended in person and on-line and will consist in the visualization of a series of videos explaining different phenotypic traits that allow understanding tomato diversity. This theoretical part will be completed with practical lessons in the greenhouse (4th July). The second part will consist in actual phenotyping of a large and diverse collection of tomato accessions from the repository of the HARNESSTOM project and this will take place at the greenhouses of the MVCRI. Trainees will be guided by expert trainers in the phenotyping activity. Students, technicians, researchers, farmers and citizens interested in plant phenotyping are invited to join this training course.
The participation in the training school is free but solely Europeans (except Russian and Belarusian citizens according COST Association rules) can apply for reimbursement. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of three members. Selected applicants will be reimbursed according to the COST rules (transport expenses and daily allowance). For more information about the training school, contact Dr. Julien Pirrello (julien.pirrello@ensat.fr), Dr. Ivanka Tringovska (dwdt@abv.bg), Dr. Antonio Granell (agranell@ibmcp.upv.es).
Low oxygen role in fruit physiology and post-harvest storage
Location: Akdeniz University, Agriculture Faculty, Dumlupinar Boulevard 07058 Campus Antalya / TURKEY
Date: April 16-18, 2023
Application deadline: February 28, 2023
Regulation of atmospheric compositions of the storage atmosphere have gained popularity all over the world in recent years. Increasing the CO2 and decreasing the O2 level had positive effects on fresh fruit quality during storage. Reducing the oxygen level is an effective method during the postharvest of many horticultural crops but the tolerance level can be changed by many factors such as cultivars, maturity stage, storage temperatures, etc. This course aims at scientists and students who have little or no practical experience of low oxygen storage techniques but plan to develop or apply postharvest atmosphere regulation in their own research and industrial scale in the near future. The course comprises a series of theoretical, laboratory, and industrial scales lectures and company visit. This course especially focused on the effect of low oxygen storage treatment in postharvest fruit quality of horticultural crops. This course will mainly focus on the development of measurement and control technology of low oxygen storage, measurement and determining internal and external oxygen levels of different fruits, the physiological and molecular responses to fruits to low oxygen, and their practical application in the postharvest industry (private company visit).

Plant Metabolomics Profiling
Location: Royal Holloway, University of London
Egham Hill, Egham TW20 0EX, United-Kingdom
Date: July 4th to 6th 2022.
Application deadline: May 6th.
When you click to download the form, if a warning message appears please ignore it or contact Julien Pirrello (julien.pirrello @ ensat.fr) to get the form.
This course is specifically aimed at scientists who have little or no practical experience of metabolomics but who plan to develop or apply metabolomics/metabolite profiling approaches in their own research in the near future. In this course we shall give you both a theoretical and practical (hands on) introduction to Plant metabolomics. The course comprises a series of introductory lectures and practicals covering sample preparation and measurements using GC-MS, LC-MS and HPLC-PDA technologies. Data (pre)processing, data analysis and interpretation will also be introduced. Following this course we expect you to be able to initiate your own strategy on how to plan plant metabolomics experiments, interpret and understand metabolomics data output as well as recognize pitfalls in experimental design and data interpretation.
