15C04 Advances in Agricultural and Silvicultural Biotechnology and Plant Cell Culture
OverviewThis session will focus on the latest research and developments in agricultural and silvicultural biotechnology and plant cell culture. Papers are sought that deal with the use of plant-based systems in the areas of secondary metabolite accumulation and foreign protein production. Possible topics include pathway manipulation, stable transformation, expression systems, reactor design, process optimization, innovative bioprocesses, product secretion / purification, economic evaluation and regulatory issues.
