The 3rd International Workshop on Plant DNA repair and Recombination.
02-05 May 2012. Station Biologique, Roscoff, France
Stability and variation : genome maintenance mechanisms in plants.

 

We are organising a scientific workshop on genome stability and plasticity in plants in May 2012 at Roscoff, in France. In a world faced with increasing populations and climatic change, the importance of understanding these fundamental processes is of ever increasing importance and urgency. Sessions will cover recombination, DNA repair, meiosis, cell cycle, telomeres and chromosome stability, replication and applied technologies derived from these subjets including plant breeding and targeted genome modification. The CNRS/Université Paris VI, Roscoff Marine Biology Station is an active, modern research center, associated to a CNRS conference center which regularly hosts conferences (see website at http://www3.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conference-centre-.html).  All participants will stay within easy walking distance of the conference center (on the sea-front) and this picturesque coastal Brittany village is an ideal place for stimulating informal discussions and meetings.
