Scientific Sessions

This session provides a deep exploration into the rapidly advancing world of plant genetic architecture and genome research, focusing on how genomic diversity drives phenotypic variation and evolutionary change. Talks will highlight innovations in whole-genome sequencing, pangenomics, comparative genomics, SNP and haplotype mapping, long-read technologies, and genome annotation pipelines. The session will also emphasize practical applications such as marker-assisted selection, genomic prediction, domestication gene discovery, and molecular breeding strategies aimed at improving crop resilience, quality, yield, and adaptation to environmental stressors.
