Mini-Symposium
From Nature to Bioreactor
Our Mini-Symposium will address the current state of application of in vitro plant culture technologies in Pharma, Food and Cosmetics. The program of the Mini-Symposium includes invited lectures as well as a call for poster presentations.
The main topics of the Mini-Symposium are:
- Methodologies in in-vitro plant cultivation: From plant tissue to plant suspension cultures
- Strategies for controlling plant secondary metabolite contents in medicinal and aromatic plants
- Hardware, infrastructure and bioprocess control methods for plant biotechnology
- GMP and non-GMP applications for plant biotechnology
