Plant breeding is an integral part of domestication and one of the main factors to establish profitable and sustainable cultivation guaranteeing safety and efficacy of MAPs. Breeding research provides the prerequisites for organizing breeding procedures in an effective way. The symposium will highlight the latest advances in the field of breeding research on medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) and will provide a meeting platform for experts involved in breeding research and related fields of science, for specialists of seed companies and industrial establishments and for members of authorities. The topics of the symposium will cover the whole range from genetic resources, classical and molecular breeding approaches to genetically modified organisms and intellectual property rights.

Main Topics

Genetic resources and results of conventional breeding methods

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

Intellectual property rights

The organisers extend a cordial invitation to attend the symposium and to present research findings and general statements and to contribute to fruitful discussions which will convey important impulses for future activities.
