About event
As part of the COST Action CA22157 RECROP, we are organising a workshop on the topics related to the impact of epigenetic and post-transcriptional gene regulation, and control of translation initiation in response to abiotic stress, focusing on aspects of plant reproduction. Abiotic stress during the reproductive developmental phase significantly affects seed yield and quality. The workshop will discuss current research into the molecular regulation of the stress response.
Programme
The event is organised on-site at the CEITEC premises on the Bohunice Campus of Masaryk University, Czech Republic.
The programme includes a visit to the Mendel museum and the Basilica and a dinner at Mendel’s Greenhouse on 30 June 2026.
