3rd EPI-CATCH Conference
3rd EPI-CATCH CONFERENCE
EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS OF CROP ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE
30 May–1 June 2023, Sofia, Bulgaria
EPI-CATCH is a COST action with the aim of defining, developing generating and sharing new breaking knowledge and methodologies for the investigation of epigenetic mechanisms underlying plant adaptation to environmental stresses driven by climate change. Our goal is to create a pan-European framework for networking in this under-investigated research field of plant genetics.The 3rd EPI-CATCH Conference is an extraordinary occasion for researchers to disseminate, discuss, connect and update on the latest research in plant epigenetics.
The conference will host sessions dealing with:
- Epigenetic responses to environmental stresses;
- Epigenetic mechanisms driving stress memory, transgenerational effects, adaptation responses;
- Methodological approaches for the study of epigenetic diversity and stress responses.
Management Committee meeting will take place at the end of the conference to coordinate the activities over the 3rd year of the Action and resume other events (training schools, workshops, STSMs) organised by EPI-CATCH.
The conference will be held in a hybrid format, combining physical presence and online/remote participation.
