[Meeting] III Forest Genomics Meeting 2014

III Forest Genomics Meeting 2014

Regulation of genome expression dynamics in forest trees

Forest trees are long-lived, woody perennial plants, and continuously challenged by ontogenetic and environmental changing conditions. Complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional networks control genome expression, with subsequent phenotypic variation. During the previous editions, FGM has been an opportunity to discuss the state of the art on Eucalyptus genomics (1st edition) and transgenic forest trees potential (2nd edition). The 3rd edition of FGM year will be dedicated to the progress on the understanding of genome expression regulation, in particular the role of transcription factors, smallRNAs, DNA methylation and histone modifications in forest trees.

The 3rd Forest Genomic meeting will be organized within the collaboration of different Portuguese and international institutions, and in the frame of PKBBE-TREEFORJOULES project and TRANSBIO program.

Deadlines: As in other FGM Participation will be Free of Charge. However, due room limitations registration will be necessary.

Registration deadline: 27 November 2014 All oral communications will be made by invitation. Communications in form of posters are welcomed. Two/ Three posters will be selected for oral presentation. You must be registered for the meeting in order to submit a poster abstract. Poster Abstracts deadline – 31 October 2014
