About
From June 24 to 26, 2015, we are organising three different events related to plant breeding at the TUM Weihenstephan near Munich in Germany (Overall programme of the COBRA-ECO-PB-Eucarpia event).
- On June 24 to 25, 2015, there will be meetings of different work package groups of the European Project COBRA, with the possibility of attending one of the two field tours.
- On June 25 and 26, 2015 we will inaugurate a new EUCARPIA Working Group on Plant Microbe Interaction. This working group should stimulate the exchange between new research in plant microbe interaction and potential applications in plant breeding. We hope for extensive exchange among the participants. Abstracts are most welcome till 15th May.
- On June 26, 2015 there will a working group meeting of the European Consortium for Organic Plant Breeding (ECO-PB).
