SUMMARY:5th AAB PlantEd Congress: Agricultural Biotechnology in the Era of Genome Editing
DESCRIPTION:VISIT EVENT WEBSITE\nPlant genome editing is a topic of enormous scientific and political importance as a potential strategy to mitigate the impact of climate change\, alterations in plant disease patterns and to ensure nutritional security. This is an exciting time for genome editing as more regions across the globe are allowing for the use of new breeding technologies to generate new crop variants. This is noticeable Europe there are political moves toward accepting the use of this technology. Concurrent with slow political processes there have been rapid technological advances in research labs\, where new genome-edited crop varieties are showing promising climate and pathogen resilience. It is now important that these varieties are tested in field trials in order to understand their possible applied impact. This event brings together technology and policy experts to explore how advances in agricultural biotechnology will proceed in the age of genome editing. This is the 5th Congress associated with the ‘PlantEd: Genome Editing in Plants’ project. Between 2019-2023 the COST Action PlantEd brought together experts from across Europe and beyond. These members represented a range of disciplines all with a focus on plant genome editing.  At the end of COST Association-funding PlantEd has transitioned to  become an AAB Specialist Group. This move aims to keep this community of experts together by sharing relevant information and through organisation of conferences and workshops. In collaboration with the Turkish local organising committee\, this event is the first organised by the AAB-PlantEd specialist group. This event will include plenary sessions of talks provided by invited speakers and those selected from submitted abstracts. We will also host a poster session and short tourist trips close to Samsun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates can register as an in-person or an online delegate.

SUMMARY:2023 IS-MPMI Cong​ress
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Our Planet Through Plant-Microbe Research\nThe 19th Congress of IS-MPMI will feature major advances in our understanding of plant-microbe interactions that will help us develop more resilient crops. The twin threats of climate change and political conflict have brought​ into sharp focus the need to improve the resilience of local crop production systems. \nThe 2023 Congress will start off with a special session focused on emerging threats to crop production in Bangladesh\, East Africa\, and Brazil and show ways MPMI research is addressing these challenges. The plenary program will then cover major advances made over the last four years in our understanding of molecular plant-microbe interactions\, spanning from the structural biology of plant immune receptors to how healthy plant microbiomes are established and maintained\, and everything in between.​ \nWebsite: https://www.ismpmi.org/Events/2023Congress/Pages/default.aspx
