International Conference Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance VI
Registration: open
Organizers: Co-Chair Prof. Teun Munnik (University of Amsterdam), Co-Chair Prof. Heribert Hirt (KAUST, Saudia Arabia) & Local Organizer Prof. Alisher Touraev (VISCEA, Austria)
Abiotic stresses, defined as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment are the primary causes of crop loss worldwide. Abiotic stresses include high and low temperatures, salinity, drought, flooding, heavy metal stress and many other environmental factors. Plant tolerance to these stresses is dependent on the molecular networks involved in stress perception, signaling, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites.
This two-day event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The conference will cover the following research topics:
- Plant Response to Cold & Heat Stresses
- Plant Response to Drought, Salt and Osmotic Stress
- Plant Response to Oxidative- and Flooding Stress
- Plant Response to Nutrient Stress, Signaling & Heavy metals
- Plant Abiotic Stress Signaling
- «Omics» & Genome Editing of Abiotic Stress Tolerance
- Breeding & Engineering of Abiotic Stress Tolerance
