EpiDiv2021 - Scientific Conference

Linking Ecology, Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics in Plant Epigenetic Research Sevilla, Spain, 29 september – 1 october 2021

Organized by the European Training Network EpiDiverse (H2020-MSC-ITN-764965)

Scope

There is an ever-growing interest in the mechanisms underlying epigenetic phenomena, which may be particularly crucial for the survival of plants within dynamic environments as they cannot respond behaviourally or migrate immediately. Understanding the epigenetic contribution to plant phenotypic variation, stress responses and long-term adaptation will help to better understanding species responses to global environmental change, and can open new directions for sustainable agriculture and crop breeding. Moving forward this field requires multidisciplinary cross-talk between ecologists, molecular geneticists and bioinformaticians. This was the aim of the EpiDiv2021 Conference celebrated at CaixaForum Center in Sevilla (Spain) 29th september - 1st october 2021.
