Scientific Sessions

This session highlights the cutting-edge use of biotechnology to reshape plant biology and agriculture. Focus areas include CRISPR-Cas and TALEN gene editing, transgenic technologies, delivery systems for gene insertion, and trait stacking. Case studies will showcase engineered crops with improved nutritional quality, pest tolerance, abiotic stress resilience, and enhanced metabolism. The session also explores synthetic biology frameworks, such as module-based pathway design, programmable regulation, biofoundries, biomanufacturing, and ethical frameworks surrounding bioengineering of plants.
