Plant evolution and ecology determine biodiversity and ecosystem processes. This session addresses adaptive features and evolutionary mechanisms in plants. We will look at ecological interactions with pollinators, herbivores, and microorganisms. Specialists will address evolutionary innovations such as C4 photosynthesis. The session focuses on adaptation of plants along environmental gradients. Case studies will demonstrate plant community dynamics and distribution. We will look at molecular ecology tools for evolutionary studies. Conservation biology viewpoints will be integrated. The session emphasizes evolutionary adaptations to climate change. Topics feature phylogenetic analyses of plant clades. We will study co-evolutionary processes within ecosystems. Conservation applications for biodiversity will be exhibited. Participants will appreciate the evolutionary underpinnings of ecological success. The track encourages integration of ecology into evolutionary biology.
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.
