Overview

Welcome to the 4th annual AgriGenomics Congress. This year's event was held in the historic city of Hamburg.

AgriGenomics is the detailed study of the genetic makeup of plants 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 bio-fuels. There is also focus on the alteration of certain genes to increase plant resistance towards disease and infection. So, now is a good time for scientists, business people, bio-ethicists and patent experts from around the globe to come together and catch up with the latest developments in this fast expanding field.

The conference was part of the European Lab Automation event. Registered delegates had access to up to ten conference tracks ensuring a very cost-effective trip.

Agenda Topics

  • Enhancing plant resistance to disease
  • Optimisation of growth for food and biofuel
  • Systems-Based Approaches & Genomic Mapping in Plants
