Conference report:
The International Conference took place in Florence (Italy). The aim was to disseminate new insights into the epigenetic and other molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to climate change through integrated omics approaches. The scope of this Event was to create new fundamental knowledge that could be exploited by crop breeding and biotechnological approaches in the next future. The Event, under the patronage of the Italian Society of Agricultural Genetics (SIGA) was an extraordinary occasion for researchers to disseminate, discuss, and update the latest research in plant epigenetics. Two sessions were provided: 1) keynote speakers (first day) , 2) junior scientists (second day). Approximately 40 participants attended to the workshop.
