International Conference Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms IV
Registration: open
Organizers: Conference Co-Chair Prof. Frank Takken (University of Amsterdam) & Local Organizer Prof. Alisher Touraev (VISCEA, Austria)
Despite that the modern crops are mainly intensive, high yield with good resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in some regions up to 30% yield are lost every year because of diseases or other stresses. Biotic Stress occurs as a result of damage done to plants by other living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plants. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of resistance to plant biotic stress and plant diseases is one of the hottest areas of modern plant science.
This two-day event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The conference will cover the following research topics:
- NLR Structure & Signaling Mechanisms
- Immune Signaling
- Endophyte Induced Plant Immunity
- Role of Hormones in Immune Signalling
- Role of Effectors in Host Manipulation
- Translation Research in Plant Immunity
- Omics in Plant Immunity
