The symposium will cover all
aspects of plant biotechnology research in the area of crop
protection. The major topics will include:
Molecular characterization of
plant disease pathogens
I)
Characterization and genetic variation
II)
Molecular dissection
of plant disease complexes
I)
Molecular interaction of pathogens/vector and host encoded
gene products relevant to pathogenicity
II) Molecular
epidemiology
Control of plant diseases and
pests by natural and genetically engineered resistance
I) Hunting for, and mapping of disease resistant genes
II) Tissue culture, gene
transformation and expression of transgenes
III)
Molecular mechanisms
of plant disease/pest resistance
Biosafety regulations for and
testing of genetically engineered crops
I) Biosafety policy formulation and application
II)
Screen house and
field evaluation of genetically engineered
crops: Successes
and failures
Important: The language of the symposium will be English. No interpretation or
translation will be provided. |
