Plant Physiology, Metabolism & Functional Adaptation
Dedicated to understanding the functional mechanisms that govern plant performance, this track spans foundational and applied physiological processes including photosynthesis optimization, respiration dynamics, nutrient assimilation, water-use efficiency, stomatal behavior, oxidative stress response, and metabolic regulation. Presentations will integrate physiological markers with environmental variables using next-generation phenotyping and modeling approaches, bridging laboratory discoveries with agronomic outcomes relevant to food systems and climate adaptation.
