There will be 11 tracks and 80 sub tracks for the conference.

Track 1: Plant Physiology and Plant Biochemistry

Plant physiology and plant biochemistry are the sub discipline of plant biology or plant science. Plant physiology is the study of all fundamental chemical and physical process occurring in plant. These are the sub discipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. Closely related fields include plant morphology (structure of plants), plant ecology (interactions with the environment), crop physiology, plant cell biology, biophysics and plant stress physiology. Plant physiology seeks to understand all the aspects and manifestations of plant life. In agreement with the major characteristics of organisms, it is usually divided into three major parts: (1) the physiology of nutrition and metabolism, which deals with the uptake, transformations, and release of materials, and also their movement within and between the cells and organs of the plant; (2) the physiology of growth, development, and reproduction, which is concerned with these aspects of plant function; and (3) environmental physiology, which seeks to understand the manifold responses of plants to the environment. The part of environmental physiology which deals with effects of and adaptations to adverse conditions—and which is receiving increasing attention—is called stress physiology.  Plant Biochemistry or phytochemistry is the study of chemical reaction occurring in plants.

The global market for ubiquitin proteasome research and development was estimated at nearly $2.9 billion in 2013. The market should total more than $5.5 billion by 2018, and have a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% from 2013 to 2018.

Track 2: Plant Pathology & Weed science

Plant pathology is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by the infectious microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, viruses, viroid, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes, Ascomycetes and parasitic plants. These are called plant pathogens. Plant disease epidemiology is the study of disease in plant populations. Molecular Plant Pathology describes how pathogens cause disease, including analysis of the molecular signalling between plant, pathogens and genes. Molecular plant pathology can be exploited to control disease and thereby maximize crop yield. It covers the three main areas of plant pathology: how pathogens cause disease; (the molecular signalling that takes place between plant and pathogen); how plants resist disease (what is known about resistance genes, apoptosis, and systemic-acquired resistance). To protect the plant from plant pathogens, there is a new method called Gene Silencing used to form a transgenic plant, by gene silencing method expression of a gene can be switched off. Gene silencing is done by incorporating the DNA to be silenced into a form of DNA called heterochromatin that is already silent.

Weed control or weed management is the organic segment of vermin control, which endeavours to stop weeds, particularly poisonous or damaging weeds. Weed species are generally best controlled with post emergence translocate herbicides. Methods used to manage weeds include prevention, cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical.

According to the new market research report “Global Bacterial Biopesticides Market by Application (Seed Treatment, On Farm and Post-Harvest),by Type (Bacillus Thuringiensis, Bacillus Subtilis, Pseudomonas Fluorescens), by Crop Type, by Geography - Analysis and Forecast to 2019”, this market is estimated to grow from $1,438.6 million in 2014 to $2,697.6 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2014 to 2019.’

Track 3: Crop Production and its market analysis

Crop science is concerned with selection and improvement of crops. It includes research and development on production techniques, improving agriculture productivity, soil fertility, maintenance, protection, harvesting and storage aspects of post-harvest, pest management. Soil fertility is ability of soil to provide all essential plant nutrients in available forms and in a suitable balance, it support luxuriant growth of plants with very little human effort. It contains sufficient minerals, soil organic matter, and good soil structure and soil moisture retention. Soil fertility is of two type’s permanent and temporary fertility.

Humans are depended on plants or crops for food, fibber and more recently for fuel. Crop production is deals with growing crops for use as food, fibre and other use and Crop productivity is the quantitative measure of crop yield in given measured area of field. The use of new crop varieties and the efficient application of agrochemicals, immensely contributed to increased plant productivity. Demand of crop production is rising because of increasing population. So the market value of crop is also increasing day by day. 

According to a new report from Pike Research, the increased production and consumption of biofuels will more than double the industry’s market value in the next decade.  The cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts that the global market for biofuels will increase from $82.7 billion in 2011 to $185.3 billion by 2021.

The global biofertilizers market is projected to generate a value of $1,649.7 million, at a CAGR of 13.9%, by 2019.

The global market for biopesticides was valued at $1,796.56 Million in 2013 and is expected to reach $4,369.88 Million by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 16.0% from 2014 to 2019. North America dominated the global biopesticides market. Europe is expected to be the fastest growing market in the near future owing to the stringent regulation for pesticides and increasing demand from organic products.

Track 4: Agricultural Biotechnology

Agricultural biotechnology is a specific area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnosis, vaccines, and tissue culture to modify living organisms: plant, animal and microorganism. Agricultural biotechnology is majorly used to alter the genome sequence of crops and those crops can be termed as transgenic or genetically modified crops. This helps to increase crop yield and good food quality. The agricultural biotechnology market has been classified based on applications into transgenic crops and synthetic biology-enabled products and tools. Agricultural biotechnology comprises Agriculture genetics and Plant breeding, Agronomy , Agricultural Extension, Agricultural engineering and technology, hybrid seed technology, Agricultural risk management, Modelling tools in agricultural DSS (Decision Support System). Plant breeding is the process of using two parent plants to create an “offspring” plant. It involves manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes. Manipulation involves either controlled pollination, genetic engineering, or both, followed by artificial selection of progeny. Using conventional plant breeding technology agriculture productivity is increased.

According to a new market study published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), titled “Agricultural Biotechnology Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019”, the global agricultural biotechnology market was worth US$15,300 million in 2012 and is expected to be worth US$28,694.1 million by 2019, expanding at a 9.5% CAGR from 2013 to 2019.Growing population worldwide has led to demand for genetically modified (GM)crops for high yield, which is one of the primary drivers for the growth of the agricultural biotechnology market. Increasing demand for biofuels due to depleting reserves of conventional fuels is further boosting the agricultural biotechnology market.

Track7: Plant Genetics and Plant Molecular biology

Plant Genetics basically deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited characteristics among plant. Although there has been a revolution in the biological sciences in the past twenty years, there is still a great deal that remains to be discovered. The completion of the sequencing of the genomes of rice and some agriculturally and scientifically important plants (for example Physcomitrella patens) has increased the possibilities of plant genetic research immeasurably. Molecular biology is the study of biology and cell at a molecular level. It concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, protein structure and learning how these interactions are regulated. Biomolecules, gene expression, gene regulation, biochemical pathways are the part of this.

Track 8: Plant Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the technical application to modify any organism by addition or deletion of genes and to make improved and modified organism. There are various modern techniques to develop genetically modify plants, genetically engineered crops. By r-DNA technology we can produce a recombinant DNA and insert it in to a vector thus genetically modified crops are produced. Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in biological organisms. Epigenetics is the interchanging between the heredity and the environment through molecular mechanisms (DNA methylation, gene silencing, fluorescent in situ hybridization). Plant Molecular farming is a part of the plant biotechnology industry that involves the process of genetically engineering plants so that they can produce various types of therapeutic proteins and molecules such as peptides and secondary metabolites. These genetically modified proteins and molecules can then be harvested and used to produce pharmaceuticals. Plant Biotechnology is emerging in the field of medicine interfacing biotechnology and bioinformatics; the molecular characterization of medicinal plants; molecular farming; and leads from chemistry, nanotechnology etc.

Track9: Phytochemicals

Phytochemicals are plant derived chemical compounds. Antioxidants, Primary and secondary metabolite, atropine, and some antibiotics derived from plant, all are phytochemicals. There are thousands of phytochemicals are found in vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds.  Basically they don’t have any nutrition value for human beings but they have some other properties like antibacterial properties, hormonal and enzymatic properties and antioxidant effect. Antioxidants also prevent the free radical damage in cancer and other heart disease. Plant basically produces these chemicals for protect them from any microbial infection. There is a lot of use of phytochemicals in human life. Example of some phytochemicals are  Alkaloids, Monoterpenes, Anthocyanin, Organosulfides, Carotenoids, Coumestans, Flavonoids, Hydroxycinnamic acid, Isoflavones, Lignin, Monophenols, Phenolic acid, Phytosterols, Saponins, Stylbenes, Triterpenoids and Xanthophylls. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. We can prevent it in early stages by Chemo/radio therapy or some other technique. But some time it becomes dangerous to the patient’s life. Instead of these phytochemical can be used to prevent Environmental carcinogenesis, Inflammation, Tumour angiogenesis, Metastasis, Apoptosis, Cancer cell metabolism. There are number of phytochemicals are there some of them are curcumin (derived from turmeric), apigenin(derived from parsley), Crocetin (derived from saffron), cyanidins (from grapes),  Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) ( from Brassica vegetables), Epigallocatechin gallate (from green tea), Fisetin (from strawberries, apples),  Genistein (from soybean), Gingerol (from gingers), Kaempferol (from tea, broccoli, grapefruit) and many others.

The Europe phytochemicals & plant extracts market is estimated to grow from $833.7 million in 2014 to $1.25 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 8.4% during the period under consideration.

Track 10: Mycology & Phycology

The term mycology and phycology both are derived from Greek word “mykes” and “phykos” accordingly. Mycology basically deals with the study of fungi and phycology is the study of algae. Fungi inhabit almost every niche in the environment and humans are exposed to these organisms in various fields of life. Many fungi are useful in medicine and industry. Mycological research has led to the development of such antibiotic drugs as penicillin, streptomycin, and tetracycline. Mycology also has important applications in the dairy, wine, and baking industries and in the production of dyes and inks. The fungi and algae both play an important role in ecosystem.

Importance & Scope:

Plant Physiology is a subdivision of botany or plant biology and it is the study of physical, chemical and biological functions of living plants, right from the from the whole plant down to the cellular level. It covers a wide range of scientific study of plant. It includes Plant morphology, molecular biology of plants, plant genetics, phytochemistry, plant pathology, and different genera of plants.

Plant pathology dealing with basic, fundamental and advanced methods and discoveries includes essential plant pathology, it is an integration of many biological disciplines and bridges the basic and applied sciences. As a science, plant pathology encompasses the theory and general concepts of the nature and cause of disease, and yet it also involves disease control strategies, with the ultimate goal being reduction of damage to the quantity and quality of food and fiber essential for human existence.

Plant physiology has roots in plant biology , agriculture and plant physiology also has scope in agriculture fields, medicine, food production and textiles. It is the main source of food for human being. As well as we can get plant proteins, phytochemicals from plants, from medicinal plants some medicines are prepared and which can cure some fatal diseases. Form some recent study it is proved that plant antioxidant helps us to protect from free radical damage. By using Phytochemicals some cancer cell proliferation can be prevented at earlier stage. Beside that we can increase the nutrition value of plant by plant biotechnology and plant breeding.  Now days green energy are used as non-conventional source of energy to reduce environmental pollution. So in human life plant physiology and plant oriented studies are very much important to sustain in this planet.
