Organizing Committee
This symposium will gather researchers working on understanding pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) using multidisciplinary approaches to discuss solutions to this agronomically-relevant problem that affects many modern crops. By showcasing state-of-the-art knowledge, participants will have the opportunity to share their comprehensive advances and interact with colleagues working on cutting-edge PHS research.
We will provide you with a template for abstract by email after finishing your registration. Abstracts should be submitted to us (the email address: isphsc2023ml.affrc.go.jp） as an attached file by July 30. The organizing committee will select some abstracts as oral presentation.
