Programme |
We will present leading edge research in plant small molecules that have an interest as healthy compounds or for the industry. Research presented will unveil the biosynthetic pathways and the engineering of plants for high production of those compounds using all sort of approaches including Synthetic Biology/Metabolic engineering.
Invited Speakers:
We will include here talks on Small Molecules emphasizing their role in plant communication both as endogenous signals or to communicate with other plants or organisms. This session will present the latest advances in research on compounds that confer to flowers or fruits the ability to attract pollinators or frugivores, the complexity of the chemical communication in plant-insect interaction and plant-parasite/pathogen interactions.
Invited Speakers:
In two sessions we will present the use of metabolomics platforms to define the small metabolite complement of the plant, as well as different approaches to monitor small molecules in plant cells. A series of talks will illustrate how the combination of sophisticated phenotyping/monitoring of biological effects triggered by small molecules in plant cells together with the screening of large libraries of small compounds -chemical genomics approaches- result in the identification of new small molecules with enhanced properties.
