XVII Meeting Molecular Biology of Plants
2024-07-03 - 2024-07-05 | Castellón de la Plana, Castellón de la Plana, Spain
The XVII Meeting of Plant Molecular Biology that will be held in Castelló de la Plana 3-5 th of July 2024.
The Meeting of Plant Molecular Biology (RBMP) is an important biennial plant research event, open to scientists working in the academia and the industry. It constitutes an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange, presentation of novelties at the conceptual and methodology levels, thus expanding visibility and promoting collective scientific enrichment and the establishment of new and potentially fruitful collaborations.
Nowadays, one of the aims of the plant molecular biology research is to fulfill the increasing demands of agriculture and the challenges of climate change is posing on food production. Therefore, this meeting will focus on fundamental and applied research considering the needs of agriculture and presenting new advances in plant biotechnology. To attain these objectives, the meeting has the support of the biotechnological platform BIOVEGEN.
As in past editions, the active participation of young researchers in both the scientific committee and the oral presentation of their work is strongly encouraged. To this respect, as a gold standard to ensure an excellent scientific level, we have invited senior researchers of international prestige for plenary sessions. The meeting is fully committed to gender equality, as seen in the composition of the scientific and organizing committees.
The XVII RBMP will be held in Castelló de la Plana, a small city by the Mediterranean Sea, with a unique architecture and gastronomy and an important historical background. The historical and artistic heritage of Castelló is reflected in its numerous monuments, which can be admired in a walk through its old town. Some of the most outstanding are the cathedral of Santa María, of Gothic style; the town hall, of neoclassical style; the Fadrí, the independent bell tower of the cathedral; the central market, of modernist style; the municipal palace, of Renaissance style; or the Real Casino Antiguo, of eclectic style. The museums of Castelló offer a wide variety of themes, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Ethnological Museum, the Ceramic Museum, the Orange Museum or the City Museum, at walking distance from the city center. The gastronomy is based on fresh products from the orchard, the sea, or the mountain being rice dishes the most popular. The beaches of Castelló are another of its great attractions, as they have an extension of 8.6 kilometers of fine and golden sand, bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.
We are looking forward to having you here in our University Jaume I, in Castelló de la Plana, and enjoy your presence in a relaxing and friendly environment.

Plant Epigenetics/SEB 2024
2024-07-10 - 2024-07-12 | Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, France
EPIPLANT/SEB 2024 will bring together the scientific community working in the broad field of plant epigenetics, chromatin dynamics, environmental responses and transgenerational inheritance. EPIPLANT/SEB 2024 is a joint meeting of the CNRS Groupement de Recherche (GDR) EPIPLANT and the Society For Experimental Biology.
The meeting will provide a dynamic platform for leading international experts and researchers, particularly those in the early stages of their career, to present their latest findings and foster exchanges and collaborations.
The conference will start Wednesday, 10th of July at 9am and will finish Friday, 12th of July 2024 at 1pm with lunch.

The conference will comprise five half-day sessions:

Chromatin dynamics during plant development
Epigenetic regulation of repetitive elements
Chromatin in transcription, replication and repair
Dissecting molecular mechanisms of gene expression control using epigenomics
Epigenetic responses to environmental changes

ICAR2024
2024-07-15 - 2024-07-19 | UC San Diego, San Diego, United States
The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) is an annual gathering of up to 1000 scientists whose primary research organism is the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This meeting embraces the remarkable contribution that Arabidopsis has made to our understanding of plant science.
ICAR2024 takes place at UC San Diego, California, USA.

XX International Botanical Congress 2024
2024-07-21 - 2024-07-27 | Madrid, Madrid, Spain
The next International Botanical Congress ―the 20th IBC— will take place in Madrid (Spain) on the following dates:

Nomenclature Section, 15–19 July 2024
Congress, 21–27 July 2024

The IBC takes place every six years under the supervision of the International Association for Botanical and Mycological Societies (IABMS). The 20th was scheduled to take place in 2023 in Brazil after Shenzhen’s (China) 2017. Unfortunately, the difficult situation caused by the worldwide pandemic has made impossible to organize this big event in Brazil in 2023.
Rooted in the tradition of Systematic Botany, the IBCs have enlarged their scope over more than a century to become an integrated forum for knowledge on the plant and mycological world. Please take a look at the broad scope of topics that we hope to include in this upcoming IBC in this site.
The Congress will include plenary lectures, concurrent symposia ―for which we will ask for proposals in Spring 2022—, posters, exhibitors, as well as short courses and workshops.

CRISPR Genome Editing - Workshop/Webinar
2024-07-22 - 2024-07-26 | Online
Overview
Since the discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing technology in 2012, the world is witnessing an unprecedented revolution in its use for various applications for genetic improvement and modification of various organisms. The technology enables the manipulation of targeted genes in a precise and efficient manner in many organisms and cell lines, and has become indispensable for all life science researchers globally, ranging from agriculture to pharma to health sectors.
In this 5-day online workshop, we will cover the basics of genome editing as investigated by researchers in different organisms including model plant species and elaborate its application for sustainable agriculture, better nutrition, health benefits and environmental sustainability.
Future developments and directions of the emerging genome editing tools and technologies will also be discussed.
The faculty for the workshop will be drawn from reputed national and international organizations working in the area of CRISPR mediated genome editing in agriculture, pharma and health sector.
This workshop is brought to you by the organizing team of the conference “Germplasm to Genome Engineering” held in NAAS Complex, New Delhi on October 17-18, 2019 under the dynamic leadership of Prof. KC Bansal and Prof H Nguyen.
