Conferences and Meetings on Botany

Climate change profoundly alters plant growth and development, presenting a serious threat to food security in the coming decades. Fortunately, considerable research in the plant sciences community focuses on understanding the physiological processes and underlying molecular mechanisms through which plants can adapt to these changes. This recently resulted in significant progress, and even positions plants as a solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and associated climate change effects. This EMBO Workshop will convene scientists with a broad, integrative view of plant science in the context of climate change. It will highlight the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to major factors associated with climate change (elevated CO2, temperature, drought and salinity), and identify processes beyond resilience to and memory of climate fluctuations. It will also pinpoint the recent molecular approaches for harnessing plants to mitigate climate change effects, and will highlight examples of adaptation to extreme life conditions to insure food security under ever more constrained environmental conditions.

We extend a warm invitation to you to be part of ComBio2022 to be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC). After a long pause in our plans, we anticipate that this will be a vibrant return to face-to-face scientific exchange with our colleagues*. ComBio2022 will be held in a spectacular arm of MCEC that is adjacent to the Yarra River and walking distance from numerous restaurants and cafes serving the widest imaginable variety of food. Melbourne is home to many sporting and cultural events and world class museums and galleries plus an aquarium are in the immediate vicinity. There is also an abundance of budget priced accommodation within walking distance of MCEC. ComBio in Melbourne in the Spring of 2022 should be a "must" for all.

ComBio2022 incorporates the annual meetings of: Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Australian Society of Plant Scientists, Australia and New Zealand Society for Cell and Developmental Biology, Genetics Society of AustralAsia, New Zealand Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
