Abstract

Keeping the growth rate of food production proportional to the increase in the number of people in the world is a challenge for breeding. The development of modern methods and computerization of data processing can increase the capacity of breeding programs. However, due to the fact that the phenotype, that means a genotype determined by an environment, prevails about the final utility value of new cultivars, phenotypic assessment in a manner consistent with numerical data processing begins to determine the speed of breeding programs. Therefore, under the EU Framework Program, HORIZON 2020 the European Plant Phenotyping (EPPN 2020) project is funded, to provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, techniques and methods as well as knowledge about the data collection and processing needed in modern breeding. The article discusses the EPPN 2020 conference held in Estonia in November 2017 and presents the centers of the EPPN network, to which outsiders of that network can apply in order to carry out the experiments on own materials, with the help of local staff. Calls to the program will be announced six times, every six months, starting on December 11th 2017.
