1 Towards innovative cropping systems : High Throughput Phenotyping of plant biotic interactions. Christophe SALON 1,2 Christian JEUDY 1 Céline BERNARD 2 1 UMR Legumes Genetics and Ecophysiology (LEG), INRA 17 rue Sully, BP86510 Dijon Cedex, France 2 Experimental Unit Greenhouse and Phenotyping platform, INRA, 17 rue Sully, BP86510 Dijon Cedex, France

2 Large Research Unit «Agroecology» Goals Research units gathered around knowledge for conception & evaluation of the performance of innovative cropping systems EcolDur GEAPSI IPM MERS Ecology of communities and durability of agricultural systems Genetic environmental determinisms of plant adaptation to innovative cropping systems Mechanisms management of plant-micro organisms interactions, Microbiological and environmental sanitary risks Various thematics PPHD Dijon, Phenodays, Slide 2/18

3 Large Research Unit «Agroecology» Goals A variety of research objects EcolDur GEAPSI IPM MERS Legumes, Weeds, Cereals, Brassica Legumes, Legumes/Ce reals Associations Legumes, Arabidopsis, Wine, Tobacco, Tomato Listeria and root tissues PPHD Dijon, Phenodays, Slide 3/18

4 Filling the gap Goals Pheno and Geno mix Available: - large genetic var. - «omic s» Automated plateforms! Combine similar phenotyping and genotypage rates PPHD Dijon, Phenodays, Slide 4/18

5 Example : case studies of legume plants Phenotyping plant architecture, flowering, senescence, [NO3 - ] Phenotyping pods and seeds Seeds : Number, size and shape P. sativum M. truncatula Phenotyping roots and interactions with micro organisms (nodules, µr), Mutants (Tilling..) RILs Ecotypes collections CONTROLED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Kroj et al. Development (2003) 130, Fluorescence: GFP In vitro kinetic development PPHD Dijon, Phenodays, Slide 5/18
