SUMMARY:7th International Plant Breeding and Biotechnology Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:7th International Plant Breeding and Biotechnology Conference 2026 \n28 – 30 April 2026 \nNobel Resort Hotel\, Melaka\, Malaysia \nPhysical & Online Conference \nDownload flyer here: 2nd Announcement_IPBBC2026 \nFor registration              : https://submit.confbay.com/conf/ipbbc2026 \n \nTHE 7TH INTERNATIONAL PLANT BREEDING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 2026 (IPBBC2026)\nPlant Breeding and Biotechnological Innovations for a Resilient Future\nThe 7th International Plant Breeding and Biotechnology Conference (IPBBC2026) returns as a pivotal platform to advance discussions and innovations in the fields of plant breeding and biotechnology. Formerly known as the International Plant Breeding Conference\, this event has been rebranded to reflect a broader scope and to attract a wider audience by integrating the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology alongside conventional breeding approaches. The updated name signifies our commitment to addressing complex global agricultural challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration and technological innovation. \nPlant breeding and biotechnology are two interconnected disciplines that play a vital role in ensuring food and nutritional security\, improving crop resilience to climate change\, and supporting sustainable agriculture worldwide. Building upon the remarkable success of past conferences\, IPBBC2026 is designed to highlight the synergistic power of conventional and modern breeding techniques\, integrated with cutting-edge biotechnological tools such as molecular markers\, gene editing\, genomic selection\, and synthetic biology. \nWith the theme Plant Breeding and Biotechnological Innovations for a Resilient Future\, the conference serves as a dynamic platform for uniting a global community of plant breeders\, biotechnologists\, geneticists\, researchers\, policymakers\, industry leaders\, and students. It aims to explore cutting-edge scientific advances\, share best practices\, and catalyze strategic collaborations to enhance agricultural sustainability in the face of climate change. \nThroughout the conference\, more than 15 distinguished speakers from around the world will share their latest research and insights in key areas such as genomic-assisted breeding\, functional genomics\, molecular diagnostics\, gene editing technologies\, bioinformatics\, and integrated strategies for climate-resilient crop improvement. In addition to keynote presentations\, plenary sessions\, and oral presentations\, the conference will feature poster exhibitions\, a technology and innovation showcase by leading biotechnology companies and solution providers in plant breeding and biotechnology\, as well as a one-day technical visit. These activities will offer participants valuable opportunities to connect science with practice and observe real-world applications of innovations in breeding and biotechnology. \nIPBBC2026 serves as a vital platform for advancing scientific dialogue and driving innovation in support of resilient and sustainable agriculture. Reflecting the conference theme\, the event promotes the integration of cutting-edge research\, emerging technologies\, and collaborative strategies to strengthen the resilience of global food systems. By aligning with key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)\, the conference fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange aimed at accelerating the development of innovative breeding and biotechnological solutions that are essential for building a resilient agricultural future. \n  \nNORMAN BORLAUG LECTURE \nPROFESSOR DR.
