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.

The scientific organisers will review the submitted abstracts and select those delegates who will provide an oral presentations. Any abstracts not selected for an oral presentation will be invited to bring a poster to the meeting. AAB will also publish a Special Issue of Annals of Applied Biology and a issue of Aspects of Applied Biology that will be associated with the meeting. Details can be found here. \nAbstract submission deadline for Oral Presentations is July 15th 2024 \nSubmission deadline for Poster Presentations is August 15th 2024 \nWe will announce the provisional program of oral presentations by August 1st 2024 \nSUBMIT ABSTRACT HERE\n\nConfirmed Invited Speakers\n> Professor Goetz Hensel\, Head of Centre for Plant Genome Engineering Institute of Plant Biochemistry\, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf \n> Dr Sadiye Hayta\, John Innes Centre.

SUMMARY:Biocontrol and IPM in Uncertain Climatic and Economic Environments
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 AAB Biocontrol and IPM meeting will focus on the potential of IPM technologies to mitigate climate challenges and will explore whether these technologies are economically viable. \nThis meeting has a strong reputation as providing excellent opportunities for early career professionals to present their work. We will maintain this focus whilst inviting contributions from those across academia\, IPM industry\, government regulators and agronomists/ farmers who actually have the responsibility to maintain agricultural and horticultural productivity. \nConfirmed Invited Speakers\n> Dr Robert Finger\, Department of Management\, Technology\, and Economics\, Head of World Food System Center\, ETH Zürich\nEconomic and political prospects for IPM in the shift towards pesticide-free crop production system\n> Dr Catherine Bradshaw\, The Met Office and University of Exeter\nAssessing potential IPM strategies for cabbage stem flea beetle and the implications from climate change in the UK\n> Tom Allen-Stevens\, British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN)\n> Chapwa Kasoma\, CABI Centre Zambia \nBiological control and IPM in LMICs – CABI’s experience on fall armyworm in Africa \nAbstract Submission for Oral or Poster Presentations\nDelegates have the opportunity to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations. The scientific organisers will review the submitted abstracts and select those delegates who will provide an oral presentations. Any abstracts not selected for an oral presentation will be invited to bring a poster to the meeting.

SUMMARY:GROW Webinar – Imaging solutions for Seed Banks: Characterization of Accessions During Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Lee West is committed to developing tools that help researchers contribute to the agricultural challenges of the 21st century. Since 2020 he has been the Business Development Director for Hiphen Agricultural Imaging Solutions\, a company that provides imaging tools to the crop research and agricultural product development community. Hipen’s tools convert images from satellites\, drones\, and proximal sensor arrays in field\, greenhouse and lab trials into data that guides impactful decisions on product concepts\, regulatory dossiers\, marketing and\ncommercialization strategies. \nPrior to his work at Hiphen\, Lee led a team of experts at Novozymes to develop fermentation-based agricultural inputs. His work focused on answering specific questions on formulation\, business development\, product management\, and marketing. The pursuit of more insightful data led to his interest in image analytics.
