About this Event
Agriculture will face huge challenges in the near future to provide food to a growing population while ensuring crop productions in a changing climate. Plant biotechnology provides powerful tools to overcome these epochal challenges.
This event will bring together cutting-edge scientific research in plant biology with its applications to improve crop productions.
