First International Symposium on Biotechnology of Fruit Species
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DATE IS EXTENDED TO MARCH 31, 2008
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to the First International Symposium on Biotechnology of Fruit Species. The meeting will be held in Dresden, Germany from September 1 - 5, 2008. This Symposium builds on the previous symposia of tropical and subtropical species and follows the very successful Symposium in Daytona, Florida in 2005, which covered biotechnology and transformation of tropical and temperate species. The Symposium in Dresden will explore the progress being made in temperate, tropical and subtropical fruit species. The purpose is to provide a forum for scientists to share their results and experiences in the application of different biotechnology tools for genetic improvement of fruit crops. This meeting will foster interactions amongst research groups from developing and developed countries from all over the world.
