International Congress “Stress Biology and Crop Fertility” (Sorrento, Italy - 18-22 Marzo 2015)
Call for Abstract and Participation
We are pleased to announce the 3rd Conference organized in the framework of the SPOT-ITN project (Marie Curie Actions, Initial Training Network, EU Grant No 289220; http://www.spot-itn.eu/) Stress Biology and Crop Fertility
Topics
- Global Stress Response
- Hormone Signalling
- Sexual Plant Reproduction
- Epigenetic Regulation of Plant Reproduction
- Metabolic, Proteomic and Genomic Networks in Stress and Development
The conference will bring together approximately 20 invited speakers of outstanding international reputation covering various scientific aspects and the young scientists of the SPOT-ITN consortium. All the speakers will provide an overview of recent developments and approaches in the field and will share with the audience their thoughts and ideas for future avenues in their research. We hope this symposium will attract not only established scientists, but also international graduate students and postdocs interested in the field or in related topics. A special issue on an international journal with impact factor will be associated to the Conference.
