Jean Michel Pape successfully defended his thesis on “Ein Klassifikationssystem zur quantitativen Analyse von Krankheitssymptomen im Kontext der Hochdurchsatz-Phänotypisierung von Pflanzen”. The work was carried out at the Leibniz Institute for Plant Genetics in Gatersleben; a nice piece of interdisciplinary work, typical for the Computational Visualistics degree programme that requires substantial understanding of plant biology and imaging in that area. Advanced cameras that also acquire near infrared light were employed to assess pathologies of plants.
