Seminar Series on Plant Biotechnology in Korea
April 10, 2014| |
The National Center for GM Crops (NCGC) in association with Plant Genomics and Breeding Institute (PGBI) and Research Team for Crop Genomics and Breeding is organizing the seminar series on Plant Biotechnology on April 4, June 3, and August 28, 2014 at Hoam Faculty House, Convention Center, in Seoul National University, South Korea.
The seminar theme will be on Development of Conventional Breeding and Biotech Crop. The first seminar on the status of GM crops development and commercialization will be led by Dr. Soo-Chul Park, director of the National Center for GM Crops-NCGC of the Next-Generation Biogreen21 Program in RDA, South Korea. Other topics are the status of crop improvement and prospect in conventional breeding (Hee Jong Koh, Soeul National University), and Natural Variation in Crop Composition: Causes and Consequences (Angela Culler, Monsanto). The following seminars will focus on risk assessment of single event product as well as development and risk assessment of gene stacked event product.
