Finding Function in Crop Genomes

Genomics is expanding at a rapid rate and an increasing number of crop genomes are becoming available. Although we have an abundance of data, there is a gap in translating this to improve our understanding of plant growth, development and response to environment. There is an urgent need to apply this new genomics knowledge to improve crop plants. This workshop will explore the various aspects of genomics in relation to improving our understanding of plant biology and towards accelerating the improvement of our crops.
