INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PLANT BIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY 2024 (ICPBB 2024) JUNE 3–6, 2024

The Centre's team participated in the International Conference on Plant Biology and Biotechnology (ICPBB 2024) (https://primerdigital.com/ICPBB2024/en/), held in Almaty from 3 to 6 June 2024.

Plenary presentations:
Prof. Cecile Ben "ADDRESSING QUANTITATIVE DISEASE RESISTANCE IN LEGUMES VIA WHOLE-GENOME ANALYSIS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY"
Prof. Laurent Gentzbittel "ADVANCEMENTS IN COMPUTATIONAL PIPELINES FOR GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSES AND GENOMIC PREDICTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR LEGUME CROP RESEARCH"

Presentations in sections:
Aleksei Zamalutdinov, PhD student "WHOLE GENOME-BASED EVALUATION OF VICIA SP GENETIC DIVERSITY"
Yawar Habib, PhD student "OPTIMIZING PRE-BREEDING: INTEGRATIVE WEIGHTING OF PHENOTYPES AND GENOTYPES IN CORE COLLECTIONS FOR ENHANCED NAM AND MAGIC PARENTAL IDENTIFICATION"

Posters:
Anastasia Stepanova, PhD student "DECIPHERING THE GENETIC CONTROL AND MOLECULAR REGULATORY NETWORKS UNDERLYING QUANTITATIVE RESISTANCE TO DISEASES IN LEGUMES"
Stepan Boldyrev, Junior Research Scientist "DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF MARKERS IN SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX (L.) MERR.) AND SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) BREEDING AND GENETIC PROGRAMS BASED ON KOMPETITIVE ALLELE SPECIFIC PCR (KASP)"
Elena Martynova, Research Scientist "DEVELOPMENT OF A GBS PROTOCOL FOR COMMON HOPS (HUMULUS LUPULUS) TO STUDY THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE HOP WITHIN RUSSIA"
