-As part of the conference, the participants got a chance to visit some of IPK's facilities. I visited the PhenoSphere facility, where plants grow under strictly controlled environmental conditions (light, temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, irrigation). It was an informative experience to know how the PhenoSphere facilitated study of a rhizotron system, where the roots are imaged via a monochrome camera and shoots through a high-resolution RGB camera. Some of the videos showing root growth under control versus treatment conditions were a delight to watch, as visually striking as they were informative. Visiting the experimental facilities outside my specialization was a refreshing experience.
