Research and development in plant breeding has supreme relevance to create next generation varieties adapted to climate change, evolution of agricultural practices and diversification in product uses.
We bring together physiology, molecular, quantitative and computational expertise to learn about the latest developments in maize and sorghum breeding and discuss future research needs.
With the new technologies and objectives for variety development, plant breeding has become more exciting and dynamic than ever, so please follow our invitation and join us in May-June this year.
For those who will not be able to attend the Conference in person, we will organize the possibility of parallel online participation, but we would be delighted to meet with you in person.
