Plant Cell & Tissue Culture in Vitro IV (July 2022)
Welcome to the 4th International Conference on ”Plant Cell & Tissue Culture in Vitro”!
Plant cell, cultured in vitro, are able to regenerate into the complete fertile plants under the appropriate culture and environment conditions, e.g. plant cells are totipotent. Currently, the technology is not only the great tool in basic research, such as cell biology, genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology, but has also the direct commercial importance in the Mass Plant Micro-propagation, Genetic Transformation, Genome Editing, Speeding up Breeding Process via production of Doubled Haploids, Production of Secondary Metabolites, etc.
The 4th International Conference on “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro” to be held in Vienna, Austria on July 4-5, 2022 will discuss wide range of modern in vitro plant cell and tissue culture technologies, fundamental aspects of plant cell totipotency, differentiation, regeneration, embryogenesis, and practical applications of plant cell in vitro technologies for crop improvement.
This two-day event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The 4th International Conference on “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro” will cover the following research topics:
- Plant Cell Totipotency & Differentiation
- Plant Cell Organogenesis & Regeneration
- Somatic Embryogenesis
- Anther/Microspore Cultures (Androgenesis)
- Ovary/Ovule Cultures (Gynogenesis)
- Plant Cell Suspensions
- Plant Cell Bioreactors
- Protoplasts
- Micropropagation
- In Vitro Fertilization
- Plant Transformation
Approximately 150 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.
