The recent integration of advances in biotechnology, genomic research, and molecular marker applications with conventional plant breeding practices has created the foundation for molecular plant breeding, an interdisciplinary science that is revolutionizing 21st century crop improvement. Plant Genomics Conference is providing the global platform to unleash your innovations in molecular plant breeding and collaborate with research and industrial developments.

Plants undergo continuous exposure to various biotic and abiotic stresses in their natural environment. To survive under such conditions, plants exhibit stress tolerance or stress avoidance through acclimation and adaptation mechanisms that ultimately re-establish cellular and organismal homeostasis or reduce episodic shock effects. These abilities involve intricate and complex mechanisms of perception, transduction, and transmission of stress stimuli, allowing optimal response to environmental conditions

Proteomics is the large-scale functional analysis of proteins extracted from intact organisms, tissues, individual cells, or cell compartments, at defined timepoints during development or under specific conditions. Plant Proteomics highlights the rapid progress in this field in plants, with emphasis on recent work in model plant species, subcellular organelles, and specific aspects of the plant life cycle such as signaling, reproduction and stress physiology.

Plant morphology deals with both the vegetative structures of plants, as well as the reproductive structures. It includes plant development, floral morphology pollination and fertilization. Plant morphology provides an overview of the science of studying the external form of plants. Plant metabolism includes the complex of physical and chemical events of photosynthesis, respiration, and the synthesis of organic compounds.

Crop improvement refers to the genetic alteration of plants to satisfy human needs. In prehistory, human forebears in various parts of the world brought into cultivation a few hundred species from the hundreds of thousands available. Through a long history of trial and error, relatively few plant species have become the mainstay of agriculture and thus the world's food supply. Plant viruses are widespread and economically important plant pathogens. Plant viruses consist of a nucleoprotein in that multiplies only in the living cells of a host.

Plant biotechnology uses the genetic engineering of agricultural crops as a means of producing foods rich in antioxidant nutrients, whilst plant cells and tissue culture techniques are used for the in vitro increment of antioxidant compounds in plant cells. There are numerous inspiring and promising reports about the possibilities of plant biotechnology that should provoke and encourage more research focused on antioxidant production from plants. Plant Genomics Congress encouraging the plant biotechnologists to enclose and surpass the new insights for crop improvement and food quality.

Medicinal plants have been used in virtually all cultures as a source of medicine. Assurance of the safety, quality, and efficacy of medicinal plants and herbal products has now become a key issue in industrialized and in developing countries. Medicinal Plants have been used for thousands of years to flavor and conserve food, to treat health disorders and to prevent diseases including epidemics. The knowledge of their healing properties has been transmitted over the centuries within and among human communities.

Plant Genomics is the field of plant science focused on understanding the sequence, structure and regulation of the genome. With the advent of low cost high-throughput sequencing, investigations of the genome have become much more sophisticated in recent years. It is now possible to compare multiple genomes within a species (pan-genomes) as well as across species (comparative genomics). One of the major challenges facing the field today is developing tools to mine these massive datasets and to visualize the results of comparative studies.

Current and predicted pattern of global climate change are a major concern in many areas of socio- economic activities, such as agriculture, forestry, etc., and is a major threat for biodiversity and ecosystem function. An increase in the ambient CO2 concentration could reduce the opening of stomata required to allow a given amount of CO2 to enter in the plant that might reduce transpiration of the trees. Climatic variability affects crop development and yield via linear and non-linear response to weather variables and exceeding of well-defined crop thresholds, particularly, temperature.

Plant tissue culture is a significant field where plants are grown artificially in a sterile environment. It involves the culture of plant seeds, tissues, organs, cells on a nutrient culture medium in sterile and controlled conditions where light, temperature, humidity are maintained. There are four main stages in this technique, initial stage, multiplication stage, pre-plant stage, and acclimatization.
