Agrigenomics World Congress
April 23, 2010| |
Brussels, Belgium is the venue for the Agrigenomics World Congress set for July 8-9, 2010. AgriGenomics is the detailed study of the genetic makeup of plants and how all the genes work together to produce the crop. Topics include among others: RNA silencing mechanisms in plants, the use of microarrays and bioinformatics, optimization of growth for food and biofuel, and enhancing plant resistance to disease.
Additional details of the Congress are available at http://www.selectbiosciences.com/conferences/AGWC2010/
