Event Detail

Agrigenomics World Congress
July 2 - 3, 2009 - London UNITED KINGDOM

Select Biosciences

Welcome to the second annual AgriGenomics World Congress, to be held in the vibrant city of London. AgriGenomics is the detailed study of the genetic makeup of the plant and how all the genes work together to produce the crop. Recently there has been great interest in genetically engineering plants to optimize yields and their use in biofuels. So, now is a good time for scientists, business people, bio-ethists and patent experts from around the globe to come together and catch up with state of the art practice in this fast expanding field. Keynote Speaker Dr Richard Flavell, FRS, CBE Chief Scientific Officer Ceres Agenda Topics: Gene silencing in plant species Genomics of plant development Applications of microarrays and bioinformatics Plant cytogenetics Genomics for stress tolerance Growth optimization for food and biofuels Recent advances in plant resistance to disease
