The conference will promote collaboration in the frontier areas of plant biotechnology research, development and innovations. The scientific program will cover all aspects of biotechnology including Genome structure: its evolution and function, Cereal biotechnology, Genetic modification and gene editing, Metabolic regulation and methods of analysis, Stress response and cell signaling, and Plant-pathogen interactions. For each of the 6 sessions, one or two keynote speakers will be invited to present a 30-minute review lecture.
The conference will also be an occasion where we are going to launch a new EFB Section of Plant Biotechnology.
A major aim of the conference is to attract many young biotechnologists and provide them with opportunities to present their work to a distinguished audience.
During the conference, scientists from academic institutions and companies will have the opportunity to meet and thus strengthen the cooperation of the industry and academia will be organized.
