EUCARPIA, the European Association for Research on Plant Breeding, provides a unique platform for meetings of the whole “production chain” of new plant cultivars.

As currently applied, digital PCR can only be used to detect known mutations at single sequence positions, for 'hotspot' mutations.

Higher eukaryotes, including plants, comprise tissues and organs comprising complex interspersions of different cell types.

Necrotrophic pathogens live and feed on dying tissue, but their interactions with plants are not well understood compared to biotrophic pathogens.

Developing and using sequence indexed, saturated collections of mutants allows us to understand the functions of nearly every gene. We have developed such a platform for sorghum, and will discuss it and ways to use this resource to make the long-promised functional improvements to both food and fuel crops.

In this talk, Christine Dufes demonstrates that the intravenous administration of a tumour-targeted dendriplex led to tumour disappearance of 90% of the tested tumours over one month.

In this talk, Stephen Baylin, discusses the development of strategies for “epigenetic therapies” for cancer and biomarker development.
