National Symposium On  Emerging Trends In Plant Sciences

3rd- 4th March 2011

Department of Botany

Banaras Hindu University(BHU)

Varanasi-221005

In Plant Biology, even the area of basic biology has become one of the most exciting areas to work with, just because of the emerging trends and techniques that has made the study of plants more convenient and interesting. Even in the field of cytogenetics very rapid progress has been made on a number of fronts in recent years. Cytogenetics now advances through developments in basic biology, instrumentation, microscopy, computational analysis, cytochemistry and biochemistry. Likewise, besides fundamental uses in unraveling the mysteries of nature & global climate change, genome biodiversity assessment also has far reaching implications in the well being of mankind.

The advent of genomics-based technologies has provided the ability to address biological questions or altered phenotypes in ways not previously imagined. In the past decade, we have obtained reference genomes for a number of plant species which can now serve as the basis for comparative studies within or among species and as a framework for a wide variety of functional genomics approaches. Over the past few decades rapid developments in genomic and other molecular research technologies and developments in bioinformation technologies have combined to produce a tremendous amount of information related to molecular biology. In view of these, a national conference on “Emerging Trends in Plant Sciences” is being organized to acquire stock of the current knowledge which will help us to understand the depth of nature easily.

Theme Areas:

Emerging trends in Plant Cytogenetics 

Genome Biodiversity & Sustainable Development 

Biotechnological approaches for Crop Improvement
Trends in Genomics, Proteomics & Metabolomics
Role of Bioinformatics in Plant Sciences
