PlantGen 2023 is a convenient platform for bringing together specialists with a wide range of interests, whose research is aimed at
- creating new genotypes,
- understanding the mechanisms of plant functioning,
- implementing biotechnological approaches.
The conference will also address issues of
- plant genetic resources,
- genetics of resistance to environmental stress factors,
- fundamental and applied aspects of studying the organization and evolution of the plant genome,
- related bioinformatics approaches,
- modern platforms aimed at improving crops.
The Scientific Program will include plenary and section reports, as well as a poster session. According to the results of the preliminary competitive selection, the participants of the poster session will have the opportunity to announce their research through a short 2-minute talk at the general sessions (flash-presentation).
Within the framework of the Conference, it is planned to hold a School of Young Scientists. For them, well-known scientists in the field of genetics, plant physiology, biotechnology and breeding will make scientific reports and popular science reports. It is also planned to hold a separate section, where young scientists will demonstrate their results in the form of oral presentations.
HOST CITY
Kazan is the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, is one of the oldest Russian cities located at the two rivers crossing - the Volga and the Kazanka.
