Abiotic stresses, defined as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment are the primary causes of crop loss worldwide. Abiotic stresses include high and low temperatures, salinity, drought, flooding, heavy metal stress and many other environmental factors. Plant tolerance to these stresses is dependent on the molecular networks involved in stress perception, signaling, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites
The main goal of the International Conference “Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance III” is to bring researchers from academy and industry to present and evaluate the most recent advances in understanding and combating plant abiotic stress and tolerance mechanisms and to define new frontiers in this field.
The program of Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance III Conference combines plenary lectures and session talks, posters sessions, special sessions on career development, and tours of the beautiful city of Vienna. Approximately 250-300 participants are expected, including more than 35 speakers and many presentations, selected from abstracts.
Vienna is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, situated in the heart of Europe. Due to its geographic and geopolitical location, Vienna has become a popular conference place in recent years. Today, Vienna offers a range of sights from old historical palaces, classical concerts and outstanding opera performances to typical Viennese coffee houses and restaurants – all brought together in incomparable Viennese harmony. The International and Local Organizing Committees have compiled a well-balanced agenda with state-of –the –art professional highlights and social events to be remembered.
For the first time, Vienna Conference Series offer Special Career & Job Sessions and Organized Meetings with Potential Employees and Employers! Take the unique opportunity to find the GREAT JOB and Outstanding Researchers for Academy and Industry Labs! These sessions offer the unique chance for young researchers to present their portfolio (talks for 5-7 min.) and for academy and industry – talks on their areas of research and business (talks for 5-7 min.)
Vienna Conference Series also offer the great opportunity to get FREE REGISTRATION, if you attract 5 more colleagues to attend the meeting, independent on the institution and location.
Finally, if you are not able to attend the Conference, you can still submit your abstract and we are happy to publish it in the abstract book for just 50 €!
The International Conference “Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance III “ will cover the following research topics:
• Plant Response to Temperature Stress
• Plant Response to Drought, Salt
• Plant Response to Osmotic Stresses & Oxidative Stress
• Plant Response to Nutrient and Flooding Stresses
• Plant Abiotic Stress Signaling
• „Omics“ of Abiotic Stress Tolerance
• Modeling & Systems Biology of Abiotic Stress Tolerance
