About

North American Plant Phenotyping Network Conference

The North American Plant Phenotyping Network (NAPPN) is an association of scientists and researchers in the rapidly evolving area of plant phenomics, formed as a regional partner of the International Plant Phenotyping Network (IPPN).

The vison of the NAPPN is that the field of phenomics will become so advanced that the tools that would enable researchers to analyze and quantify phenotypic data become turn-key, thus enabling plant biologists to treat phenotypic prediction as a routine component of plant biological investigation and development.

NAPPN is a 501(c)(3) professional society devoted to advancing plant phenomics research and education. It organizes conferences, and other educational activities that are key to the advancement of its science.
