Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms III
Welcome to the 3rd International Conference “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 3rd International Conference “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms” will discuss the most recent advances in understanding and combating plant biotic stress and resistance mechanisms and to define new frontiers in this field.
The main aim of the 3rd International Conference “Plant Biotic Stresses & Resistance Mechanisms” is to 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 program of the event combines plenary lectures, poster sessions, a unique Conference Dinner Party and sightseeing tours of Vienna.
Vienna is located in the heart of Europe on the banks of the Danube River, and considered as one of the most important economic, cultural and touristic large cities of central Europe. Apart from providing top science, the Conference will capture the spirit of the city thanks to the central location of the venue offering a multitude of cultural events.
