Title : Exploring the genetic diversity in tannin-rich forages to explain the large intra species variability in tannin content
Selina Sterup Moore |
Aarhus University, Denmark
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Tannin-rich forages hold great potential in improving the environmental impact of ruminant production systems as they can reduce methane emissions by inhibiting enteric fermentation while simultaneously enhancing soil carbon sequestration by slowing decomposition and lowering ecosystem-level emissions. Previous studies have… » Read More
Title : The potential of beneficial microorganisms with the interaction with halophytes in desert and/or arid saline areas
Edgar Omar Rueda Puente | Universidad de Sonora, Mexico
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Abiotic factors such as salinity, drought, high and low temperatures and heavy metal toxicity reduce crop productivity. Climate change increases the frequency and severity of these abiotic factors. Mainly, high temperatures and low precipitation cause droughts of increasing severity. Recent… » Read More
Title : Importance of biotechnology in developing effective management of fruit rots of apples
Mohammad Babadoost | University of Illinois, United States
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Three fruit rots of apples have been reported in the Midwest of the United States, which are bitter rot, black rot, and white rot caused by Colletotrichum spp., Botryosphaeria obtusa, and Botryosphaeria dothidea, respectively. In the past 10 years, outbreaks of bitter rot… » Read More
Title : Using the urban and farming waste streams to improve soil health in agricultural systems
Mary Cole | The University of Melbourne, Australia
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Victoria, Australia, has recently introduced food organics into the green organic urban collection for recycling rather than going to land fill. Developing fit-for-purpose products from this combined waste in the form of thermal aerobic compost was carried out together with… » Read More
Title : Nature-based solutions for sustainable management of ecosystems
Valasia Iakovoglou | UNESCO chair Con-E-Ect, International Hellenic University, Greece
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Nowadays, adverse climatic conditions pose many obstacles to achieve sustainably management of ecosystems. Extreme weather events, specifically intense rainfalls events may result to catastrophic floods. Further, factors such as increased agricultural activities, deforestation and wildfires also result to excessive erosion… » Read More

Title : ICAR-IIHR, India
P E Rajasekharan | Securing the future of horticulture: Cryobanking pollen for biodiversity and breeding
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Cryopreservation is an essential method for conserving the genetic resources of crop species addressing challenges like flowering asynchrony, limited pollen availability, and complex breeding cycles in perennial species. By preserving pollen in cryobanks, breeders can ensure a consistent supply of… » Read More
Title : Total Quality and Environmental Management (TQEM) from product quality to environmental performance excellence for the sustainable seed-cotton (or kapas) development
Vijayan Gurumurthy Iyer | Techno-Economic-Environmental Study and Check Consultancy Services, India
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Organic seed-cotton (or kapas) is the seed-cotton (or kapas) grown without using synthetic chemicals either as pesticides or as growth promotors, there by supporting bio-diversity and bio- geo-chemical cycles. Genetically modified seed-cotton is not sustainable seed-cotton. This kind of seed-cotton… » Read More
Title : Rare and under-cultivated vegetable crops for livestock nutrition and human health
Satya S S Narina | Virginia State University, United States
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Health and nutrition play a prime role in human longevity. Leafy vegetables are plant products used as salad, steamed, or cooked to supply food and support health. Some of these (Alternanthera sessilis, Aerva lanata, and Moringa oleifera) are under-cultivated globally… » Read More
Title : Two for the price of one: Tomato TPK09 sensitizes plants to both pathogen attack and light stress
Sara Hailemariam | Purdue University, United States
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Plant responses to pathogens often rely on receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) that mediate signaling through interactions with receptor kinases and downstream components. Here, we studied the functions of the tomato RLCK, TPK1b Related Protein Kinase (TPK09) in pathogen and light… » Read More
Title : Plant sound perception as a window into plant cognition
Carla Cao | Universidad de Murcia, Spain
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
A growing handful of empirical studies suggests that plants are capable of perceiving ecologically relevant sounds, including the sounds of pollinators, water, and herbivores. The evidence points to adaptive plant behaviors in response to these sounds. Specifically, the studies demonstrated… » Read More
Title : Nurturing resilience: Harnessing synthetic microbial communities from root microbiomes to mitigate drought effects on pasture production
Midhat Mahboob | Lincoln University, New Zealand
10th Global Congress on Plant Science, Biology & Biotechnology
Climate change-induced drought is an escalating challenge for global agriculture, with New Zealand already experiencing significant economic losses from reduced pasture productivity. Projections indicate that drought events will increase in both frequency and severity, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable… » Read More
