About the Conference

The conference will be jointly organized by National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI), Mohali; Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB), Mohali; Indian Society for Plant Physiology (ISPP), New Delhi; Plant Tissue Culture Association of India (PTCA-I), Lucknow; International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi and ICAR-National Institute of Plant Biotechnology(ICAR-NIPB), New Delhi.

The theme of the conference is highly relevant to agri-food and nutrition research and plant molecular biology and biotechnology in particular. The conference envisages to bring together international experts and young researchers in the areas of agriculture, food, and nutrition biotechnology, and genome editing. The theme of the conference is also pertinent to inspire young students and researchers considering the fact that food and nutrition security is a global demand and advanced biotechnology tool such as genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 has potential to achieve these goals in a sustainable manner.
