Genomics has revolutionized plant biology by making it possible for thorough investigation of genetic blueprints. This session will concentrate on plant genome sequencing, annotation, and comparative genomics that expose evolutionary connections and functional variation. Specialists will emphasize genome-wide association studies (GWAS), QTL mapping, and transcriptomics as tools for mapping genes associated with significant traits. Case studies will illustrate genomic resources in model plants and crops. Emerging genome editing technologies like CRISPR will be addressed for precision breeding. We will also be addressing the challenge of polyploidy, repetitive DNA and large genome size in plants. With the integration of genomics and computational biology and phenotyping, this session will be highlighting the role of big data for its potential to expedite breeding programs. Students will learn how plant genomics informs innovations in food security, climate resilience, and biotechnological innovations.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
