Conferences and Meetings on Botany

Plant Biology | Development

SIVB meetings are truly memorable events that let you delve deep into the current discoveries and new directions of plant and animal biotechnology. The 2019 meeting will be held at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina, from June 8-12, 2019. This year's meeting will explore the frontiers of genome editing and biotechnology with sessions on “Frontiers of Synthetic Biology”, “Maximizing gene editing target specificity”, "Delivery of genome editing reagents", "Genome editing for crop improvement", "Protoplast technology for genome editing", "Metabolic engineering for value added products and biofuels", “Recalcitrance in tissue culture and transformation", "Regulation of morphogenesis". Additional plant and animal biotechnology sessions as well as student and postdoc presentation competitions will enrich the program.

It has been over 18 years since the last conference dedicated to the gibberellins. In the intervening years there have been spectacular advances in our understanding of gibberellin metabolism and signal transduction, including the discovery of the gibberellin receptor and the mode of action of DELLA proteins. The conference will highlight the most recent progress in all aspects of gibberellin research, from signalling to evolution, biotechnology and analytical methodology.

Behind their apparent simplicity, plant viruses have an incredible capacity to modify their hosts’ biological processes, including control of gene expression, macromolecular trafficking and transport, basal and induced stress defence mechanisms, and many other areas of the plant physiology. On their own, plant viruses are fascinating entities, having evolved an incredible array of smart strategies to express their genes from their very compact genomes. Thus, plant viruses are excellent study subjects, providing keys and probes to analyse and dissect many aspects of the plant biology. On a more strategic side, using very few building blocks, plant viruses produce transmission and persistence particles with amazing properties and incredible biotechnological potential. Last but not least, plant viruses cause global and regional economic and societal losses, being responsible for a significant proportion of devastating emergent and re-emergent plant diseases; development of strategies to control phytopathogenic viruses are therefore of the outmost importance. This conference is open to all researchers studying plant viruses and virus-induced diseases at any level, from molecular to ecological scale, including evolutionary aspects of plant viruses and virus-induced diseases.
