第19屆國際植物學大會的表型分會場得到擴增，目前擁有兩個“two-session”長度的植物表型分會場，共24個報告。該分會場將由國際植物表型組織（IPPN）和中國研究人員共同組織。

國際植物學界最隆重的學術會議、每隔六年才召開一次的“第19屆國際植物學大會”（“XIX International Botanical Congress”, 簡稱IBC2017）即將于2017年7月23-29日在深圳會展中心舉行。本屆大會由中國植物學會和深圳市人民政府共同主辦，是第一次在發展中國家舉辦。

本屆大會共設六個主題：
主題Ⅰ：生物多樣性、資源和保護
主題Ⅱ：分類學、系統發育和進化
主題Ⅲ：生態學、環境和全球變化
主題Ⅳ：發育和生理學
主題Ⅴ：遺傳學、基因組學和生物信息學
主題Ⅵ：植物和社會

之前，在慧諾瑞德（北京）科技有限公司和華中農業大學、東北農業大學、中國科學院植物研究所、吉林省農業科學院、上海交通大學、中國農業科學院作物科學研究所、中國農業科學院生物技術研究所、上海市農業科學院、中科院-馬普學會計算生物學伙伴研究所、創世紀種業有限公司等單位的倡議下，第19屆國際植物學大會設立了表型組分會場。

在該會場信息發布后，國際植物表型組織（International Plant Phenotyping Network, IPPN）主席、德國Julich研究中心的Uli Schurr教授聯系到分會場負責人，希望能夠一塊組織這個分會場，共同推動表型組學的發展。

經過與IBC2017組委會的溝通，組委會決定增設一個分會場。也就是說，在國際植物學界最隆重的盛會上，設立了兩個植物表型方面的分會場，而且是長度分別達到two-session級別的大型分會場，合計擁有24個學術報告的時間。

兩個分會場都歸屬于“主題Ⅴ：遺傳學、基因組學和生物信息學”領域，分別是：

T5-03：State-of-the-art phenotyping: deep, high-throughput and field （two sessions）
簡介：Plant phenotyping science has become a central field of research and application in academia and industry. The discipline provides anourishing ground for the development of new phenotyping platforms and methods.New challenges such as the identification of novel traits, establishment of robust protocols and screening methods, which integrate non‐invasive, automated high throughput measurement of relevant plant traits both under controlled greenhouse and field scenarios arise throughout this development. Advancement of novel sensors and approaches for automated measurements that are integrated in a comprehensive data management and linkage framework are required. Plant phenotyping is developing as scientific field that has the aim to accurately quantify phenotypic traits, to give valuable basis for prognostic plant performance in the field, driven by the demand of users, who require relevant information on the plant-environment interaction. In this session, we will focus on the new technologies and approaches applicable for deep phenotyping as well as high throughput phenotyping under controlled and field conditions and,data integration and management.

T5-25: Phenotyping beyond technology – approaching real world problems (two sessions)
簡介：Food and biomass production has to be substantially increased within the next decades to match the growing demand for uman nutrition and bioindustries (FAO, World Bank, Royal Society). This is particularly challenging in times of climate change with no additional or reduced arable land (IPPC reports). Today´s breeding approaches produce typically about 1% yield increase per year for key crops, which is far below the improvement required to meet increasing global demand. Sustainable intensification of crop production is a major challenge, which requires designing high yielding varieties adapted to contrasting environmental conditions. While genotyping has been industrialized and can be performed at affordable cost, the major challenge is to analyze the performance of genotypes under diverse environmental conditions and associate them with the genome. Thus,multi-scale plant phenotyping, i.e. quantitative assessment of structural and functional plant traits has become the bottleneck to provide the physiologicaland genetic basis of plant growth and performance for its translation into crop improvements. In this session, we will focus on the utilization of plant phenotyping approaches to crop improvement to support breeding and plant productivity under diverse environmental conditions.

這兩個植物表型分會場將由IPPN主席Uli Schurr教授、中國農業科學院生物技術研究所張春義研究員、中國農業大學王喜慶教授、華中農業大學熊立仲教授和楊萬能副教授、慧諾瑞德（北京）科技有限公司韓志國博士共同組織。

這將是既10月份的第一屆亞太植物表型國際會議之后，在中國舉行的又一次表型盛會。如果您有意向在本次盛會上做報告，請在2016年11月之前聯系上述分會場組織者。
