Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms V (February 2024)
Welcome to the 5th International Conference on “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms”!
Despite that the modern crops are mainly intensive, high yield with good resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in some regions up to 30% yield are lost every year because of diseases or other stresses. Biotic Stress occurs as a result of damage done to plants by other living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plants. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of resistance to plant biotic stress and plant diseases is one of the hottest areas of modern plant science.
The 5th International Conference “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms” to be held on February 5-6, 2024, in Vienna, Austria will discuss the most recent advances in understanding and combating plant biotic stress and resistance mechanisms and to define new frontiers in this field.
This two-days event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The 5th International Conference on “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms” will cover the following research topics:
- NLR Structure & Signaling Mechanisms
- Immune Signaling
- Endophyte Induced Plant Immunity
- Immune Signaling and Plant Hormones
- Role of Effectors in Host Manipulation
- Translation Research in Plant Immunity
- Hormones & Signaling in Plant Biotic Stress
Approximately 200 participants are expected to attend this exciting scientific forum including almost 30 lectures delivered by worldwide known invited speakers and young, talented speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The program combines plenary lectures, poster sessions, a unique Conference Dinner Party and sightseeing tours of Vienna.
