HYBRID EVENT: You can participate in person at Paris, France or Virtually from your home or work.

GPMB 2022

Following the phenomenal success of the previous six editions of the plant science and molecular biology conference, Magnus Group is delighted to present the “7th Edition of Global Conference on Plant Science and Molecular Biology" (GPMB 2022) to be hosted in a Hybrid format with both virtual and in-person versions at Paris, France. The global congress is a three-day event slated during September 01-03, 2022.

The conference will be moving forward with its unique theme “Evaluating Plant Science Innovations for A Sustainable Green Future” and it will cover a wide range of critically important Plant Science and Molecular Biology topics including recent trends, latest breakthroughs and emerging novel research work. GPMB 2022 will cover all fundamental and minor aspects through its plenary talks, keynotes sessions, oral and poster presentations which will facilitate the growth of Plant Science, Molecular Biology and allied fields.

Plants and the biological systems that surround them are critical to the planet's and its inhabitants' long-term health. Humanity poses significant issues in the areas of food, health, energy, and the environment, which are exacerbated by climate change's various repercussions. Plant systems (the bacteria, microbes, fungi, insects, and other organisms that live on, in, or around plants) are critical to addressing these issues because they are the foundation of climate change sentinels, healthy ecosystems and environments, and primary producers of energy, food, feed, fibre and shelter. This global consortium will help us define our abilities to do critical and far-reaching plant systems science research, which is critical in today’s world. It will also focus on utilizing emerging technologies efficiently in order to meet the sustainability goals. Through this summit we strive to lay out a broad strategy for solving some of the world's most serious issues through research, practical applications, and education whilst emphasizing on the potential of plants for a sustainable, green and healthy future.

This worldwide congress is intended to help inspire and guide molecular biologists, biotechnologists, plant science experts, botanists, researchers, scientists, academicians, agronomists, horticulturists, soil science professionals, young graduates and research fellows, industrialists and research communities. Join us so you don't lose out on a unique opportunity to witness the changes in the field of plant science and molecular biology at this vital juncture.
