We are pleased to announce the inaugural Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference From Plant Biology to Crop Biotechnology which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China. The conference will begin at 7.30pm on the evening of Monday October 25th, and will conclude after lunch on Friday, October 29th, 2010.

This conference is similar in design to the famous Cold Spring Harbor meetings series, a program now in its 75th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and two poster sessions covering the latest findings across many topics in plant and crop biotechnology. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.

Topics
Stem cells, development and morphogenesis
Hormone signaling pathways
Abiotic stress responses
Host-pathogen interactions
Growth and Metabolism
Genomics, proteomics and metabolomics
Genes, networks and Systems Biology
Evolution and Phylogeny
Trait Engineering
Marker assisted breeding/Crop biotechnology
