The Plant Cell Atlas (PCA) attends and hosts a variety of events to support our mission: to build a diverse scientific community that will set standards for generating and integrating large plant data sets, create high-quality resources and tools to advance plant science, and provide excellent networking and interdisciplinary training opportunities for early career scientists.
 

Upcoming Events

The Plant Cell Atlas Imaging Workshop Webinar Series:
Introduction to 2D and 3D Segmentation with MorphoGraphX
April 29, 2026
​9:30 AM CT / 10:30 AM ET / 7:30 AM PT

Led by Anne-Lise Routier, Amélie Bauer, and Daniel Kierzkowski from the University of Montréal, this workshop will provide a practical introduction to MorphoGraphX (MGX) for the quantitative analysis of plant organ growth. It will start with a general overview of MorphoGraphX and its core capabilities for image visualization, segmentation, and growth analysis. Participants will then be guided through the extraction of organ surfaces, basic 2D segmentation, and the computation of key growth and shape parameters, followed by an introduction to 3D segmentation approaches. The workshop will conclude with a discussion on the relationship between 2D and 3D segmentation, highlighting their respective strengths, limitations, and how they can be combined to address questions of growth and morphogenesis.

This workshop will be approximately 90 minutes in length.
