Description:

This B·Debate, an initiative of Biocat and “la Caixa" Foundation, is co-organized with the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG). Its main goal is to bring together renowned scientists working in plant development and defense, as well as experts on the incipient merging of both disciplines, which will provide new promising approaches to better understand stress-development trade-offs. This interdisciplinary meeting will cover the topics of plant-pathogen co-evolution and adaptation, hormone and signaling cascades, chromatin modifications and genome dynamics, cell biology and molecular single-cell approaches, among others.
