Symposium of the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center
Venue: ETH Zurich, Auditorium Maximum HG F30, Rämistr 101, Zurich
This conference presented advances in plant science research on genomics, phenomics, and enviromics.
The world’s ecosystems are subject to rapid changes due to human activities. This poses many challenges, such as global warming and biodiversity loss. For a better understanding of human environmental impact, geological and biological changes need to be described and quantified. Recent developments in genomics, phenomics and enviromics have allowed scientists to extract a wealth of new information. The symposium will highlight new strategies of assessing plant response to stress from gene to field and across ecosystem level.
