Plant Genomics 2016

Track 1: Transgenic Plants

Over the last 30 years, the field of genetic engineering has developed rapidly due to the greater understanding of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the chemical double helix code from which genes are made. The term genetic engineering is used to describe the process by which the genetic makeup of an organism can be altered using “recombinant DNA technology.” This involves the use of laboratory tools to insert, alter, or cut out pieces of DNA that contain one or more genes of interest. Genetic engineering techniques are used only when all other techniques have been exhausted, i.e. when the trait to be introduced is not present in the germplasm of the crop and some of societies associated with transgenic plants includes American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB),Australian Society of Plant Scientists (ASPS), Argentinean Society of Plant Physiology (SAFV), American Society of Agronomy (ASA ), African Crop Science Society (ACSS), Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology (SBFV)

Track 2: Plant Breeding

Plant breeding is the science of maximizing positive genetic traits in plants that people grow. It consists of analytical frameworks that allow researchers to create and select plants that are consistently outstanding in desired traits. The central objective in plant breeding is to improve the genetic basis of commercial crop species to comply with changing demands on yield and quality. Statistics plays a key role in modern plant breeding. A classical quantitative genetic model writes the phenotype as an outcome of genetic, environmental and genotype by environment interaction effects. In the genomic era, this classical model has been extended and generalized. Linear mixed models played an important role in classical quantitative genetics and still do so inmodern genetics. The availability of genomic tools and resources is leading to a new revolution of plant breeding, as they facilitate the study of the genotype and its relationship with the phenotype, in particular for complex traits and few societies associated with Plant breeding includes Botanical Society of China (BSC),Canadian Society of Plant Biologists (CSPB), Chile’s National Network of Plant Biologists (CNNPB), Chinese Society of Plant Biology (CSPB), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), Crop Science Society of China(CSSC), European Association for Research on Plant Breeding (EUCARPIA)

Track 3: Plant Epigenetics

A number of epigenetic phenomena were discovered in plants, but are not limited to plants. For instance, paramutation describes the heritable change in expression status of an allele upon its exposure to an allele that has the same sequence but displays a different expression status. Plant biology has made to the discovery and study of epigenetic phenomena, plants provide ideal systems for epigenomics research. Epigenomic modifications alter gene expression without changing the letters of the DNA alphabet (A-T-C-G), providing cells with an additional tool to fine-tune how genes control the cellular machinery. By understanding epigenomic alterations in plants, scientists may be able to manipulate them for various purposes, including biofuels and creating crops that can withstand stressful events such as drought some of societies associated with Plant Epigenetics includes American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), Australian Society of Plant Scientists (ASPS),Argentinean Society of Plant Physiology (SAFV), American Society of Agronomy (ASA), African Crop Science Society (ACSS), Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology (SBFV), Botanical Society of China (BSC), Canadian Society of Plant Biologists (CSPB), Chile’s National Network of Plant Biologists (CNNPB), Chinese Society of Plant Biology (CSPB), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), Crop Science Society of China (CSSC),European Association for Research on Plant Breeding (EUCARPIA)

Track4: Genome Sequencing

Plant Genomics researchers have readily embraced new algorithms, technologies and approaches to generate genome, transcriptome and epigenome datasets for model and crop species that have permitted deep inferences into plant biology. When a species’ reference genome is available, whole-genome resequencing is an efficient approach for discovering genes, SNPs, and structural variants, while simultaneously determininggenotypes. Information from these studies will fill in the gaps that exist in the genetic maps of many plant species, improving plant breeding and selection, and enabling definitive comparative genomic analyses within and across species and few associations includes The Australian biotechnology association, European federation of biotechnology ,European molecular biology laboratory, The human genome variation society, Human Proteome Organisation, The centre for genetic engineering and biotechnology, Protein research foundation, World health organization

Track5: Plant Genomics Applications

Recent technological advancements have substantially expanded our ability to analyze and understand plant genomes and to reduce the gap existing between genotype and phenotype. The fast evolving field of genomicsallows scientists to analyze thousands of genes in parallel, to understand the genetic architecture of plant genomes and also to isolate the genes responsible for mutations. Model organisms provide genetic and molecular insights into the biology of more complex species. Since the genomes of most plant species are either too large or too complex to be fully analyzed, the plant scientific community has adopted model organisms. They share features such as being diploid and appropriate for genetic analysis, being amenable to genetic transformation, having a (relatively) small genome and a short growth cycle, having commonly available tools and resources, and being the focus of research by a large scientific community. Genomics will accelerate the application of gene technology to agriculture. Plant genomics research now accounts for only 2% of the U.S. federal research and development budget, despite a 35% rate of return to society. some of societies associated with Plant Genomics Applications includes American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), Australian Society of Plant Scientists (ASPS), Argentinean Society of Plant Physiology (SAFV), American Society of Agronomy (ASA),African Crop Science Society (ACSS), Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology (SBFV)

Track6: Plant Tissue Culture

Plant cells can be grown in isolation from intact plants in tissue culture systems. The cells have the characteristics of callus cells, rather than other plant cell types. These are the cells that appear on cut surfaces when a plant is wounded and which gradually cover and seal the damaged area. The plant cells can grow on a solid surface as friable, pale-brown lumps (called callus), or as individual or small clusters of cells in a liquid medium called a suspension culture. These cells can be maintained indefinitely provided they are sub-cultured regularly into fresh growth medium.

Tissue culture cells generally lack the distinctive features of most plant cells. They have a small vacuole, lack chloroplasts and photosynthetic pathways and the structural or chemical features that distinguish so many cell types within the intact plant are absent. They are most similar to the undifferentiated cells found in meristematic regions which become fated to develop into each cell type as the plant grows. Tissue cultured cells can also be induced to re-differentiate into whole plants by alterations to the growth media. Plant tissue cultures can be initiated from almost any part of a plant. The physiological state of the plant does have an influence on its response to attempts to initiate tissue culture. The parent plant must be healthy and free from obvious signs of disease or decay. The source, termed explant, may be dictated by the reason for carrying out the tissue culture. Younger tissue contains a higher proportion of actively dividing cells and is more responsive to a callus initiation programme. The plants themselves must be actively growing, and not about to enter a period of dormancy. some of societies associated with Plant Tissue Culture includes American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB),Australian Society of Plant Scientists (ASPS), Argentinean Society of Plant Physiology (SAFV), American Society of Agronomy (ASA), African Crop Science Society (ACSS), Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology (SBFV)

Track7: Mendilian Genetics

In the 1860’s, an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel introduced a new theory of inheritance based on his experimental work with pea plants. Prior to Mendel, most people believed inheritance was due to a blending of parental ‘essences’, much like how mixing blue and yellow paint will produce a green colour. Mendel instead believed that heredity is the result of discrete units of inheritance, and every single unit (or gene) was independent in its actions in an individual’s genome. According to this Mendelian genetics concept, inheritance of a trait depends on the passing- one of these units.

Mendelian Genetics is widely regarded as the corner stone of classical genetics. It is a set of primary beliefs relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristic from parent organisms to their offspring; it underlies much of genetics. Off spring is the product of You do not have access to view this node, a new organism produced by one or more parents.

Track8: Plant Genomics in World Economy

The global market for genomics is expected to reach USD 22.1 billion by 2020, growing at an estimated CAGR of 10.3% from 2014 to 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Genomics play an imperative role in the field of infectious disease testing by enabling the use of fast and effective result rendering molecular diagnostic tests.

Track9: Plant Stem Cells

Plants have emerged as powerful production platforms for the expression of fully functional recombinant mammalian proteins. These expression systems have demonstrated the ability to produce complex glycoproteins in a cost-efficient manner at large scale. The full realization of the therapeutic potential of stem cells has only recently come into the forefront of regenerative medicine. Stem cells are programmed cells that can differentiate into cells with specific functions. Regenerative therapies are used to stimulate healing and might be used in the future to treat various kinds of diseases. Regenerative medicine will result in an extended healthy life span. A fresh apple is a symbol for beautiful skin. Hair greying for example could be shown to result from the fact that the melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle have died off.

Track 10: Molecular Farming

The commonly used term ‘molecular farming’ describes the largeâ€scale production of valuable proteins intransgenic plants, including antibodies, vaccines, other pharmaceuticals and industrial proteins. Compared to traditionally used systems such as microbial cultures, plants offer many advantages with respect to economy, quality and safety. The organism or material into which the new genetic information is inserted is often referred to as the expression system since it serves as the system for “expressing” the new product.

Track 11: Plant Physiology

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry embraces physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, structure and genetics at different levels, from the molecular to the whole plant and environment. Plant physiology is a sub discipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. The field of plant physiology includes the study of all the internal activities of plants—those chemical and physical processes associated with life as they occur in plants. This includes study at many levels of scale of size and time. At the smallest scale are molecular interactions of photosynthesis and internal diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients.

Track 12: Plant Pathology

Plant pathology is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). Plant pathology also involves the study of pathogenidentification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance, how plant diseases affect humans and animals, pathosystem genetics, and management of plant diseases. Plant pathology is an applied science that deals with the nature, causes and control of plant diseases in agriculture and forestry.

Track 13: Systems Biology

Although ecologists and physiologists have been using a systems approach to study plants for many years, a systems biology approach that reaches to and includes molecular details is only feasible now with the advent of genomic technologies. Thus, the exciting prospect of the post-genomic era is for the first time to be able to integrate knowledge across different levels of biological organization and to anchor this at the molecular level. The biological systems studied in the department, such as cell cycle, lateral root development, cell death, lignification, bud dormancy, leaf development, plant-microbe interactions, are all highly complex and will benefit considerably from the integration in a systems biology approach. Biologists now have the tools at hand to view the global behaviour of their preferred model systems and to better select the genes that are likely to play key roles in the regulation of entire processes.

Track 14: Cereals and Crops

Comparison of the order of blocks within the different cereal chromosomes revealed that each cereal genome can be derived from the cleavage of a single structure, a hypothetical ‘ancestral’ genome, from which the genomes of present day cereals and grasses have evolved. The rice genome is one of the smallest among the cereals and grasses, and in 1995, we demonstrated that rice could be a model for cereals based on this ‘synteny’ because its genome can be divided into groups of genes - a series of genomic building blocks - from which the other larger cereal genomes can be constructed. The genome analysis will also help in our efforts for improvement of staple foods for yield and quality, which is a continuous process because neither the conditions of cultivation nor the genomes have to be targeted to the need of adaptations to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses. Functional food components vary across the cereal crops and within different tissues of grain.

Track 13: Systems Biology

Although ecologists and physiologists have been using a systems approach to study plants for many years, asystems biology approach that reaches to and includes molecular details is only feasible now with the advent of genomic technologies. Thus, the exciting prospect of the post-genomic era is for the first time to be able to integrate knowledge across different levels of biological organization and to anchor this at the molecular level. The biological systems studied in the department, such as cell cycle, lateral root development, cell death, lignification, bud dormancy, leaf development, plant-microbe interactions, are all highly complex and will benefit considerably from the integration in a systems biology approach. Biologists now have the tools at hand to view the global behaviour of their preferred model systems and to better select the genes that are likely to play key roles in the regulation of entire processes.

Importance and scope

Plant genomics is a mounting and constantly evolving field of study, one which has gained much ground in past years through the development of advanced research and data management tools. Expert researchers explore the current issues and methodologies of this expanding field, specifically addressing areas of gene discovery and the functional analysis of genes with a target on the primary tools and sub-disciplines of genetic mapping, mRNA, protein and metabolite profiling. Plant genomics employ exciting new methods to investigate molecular plant breeding technology and gene functional analysis via transformation, mutation, protein function, and gene expression. The success of transgenic crops has erased the last vestiges of doubt about the value of agricultural biotechnology and triggered large-scale investments in plant genomics. The first genomics technology that was practiced on a large scale was sequencing the 5′ ends of cDNAs, to produce expressed sequence tags (ESTs).

Plant Genomics has roots in agriculture and Plant Genomics 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 Genomics and plant oriented studies are very much important to sustain in this planet.

Value of Plant genomics to Agriculture and Society

Genomics will accelerate the application of gene technology to agriculture. this technology will enhance food security, by increasing productivity, and food safety, by eliminating Mycotoxins. There is a third benefit, derived from the first two: increased wealth. By accelerating the application of technology, genomics significantly increases the value of seeds and agricultural products. This increase adds much wealth to the customers, company owners, employees, and citizens of the nations in which genetic supply companies operate, and to both producing and importing nations whose food costs consequently are decreased.

Agricultural plant genomics should be publicly funded for several reasons. First, the DNA sequence of plants is necessary for continued low-cost, rapid progress to understand crops. As such, it is an essential resource for scientists in both the public and private sectors. Second, industry needs the public sector to create innovative methods for structuring and analysing databases, which can’t be done without access to genomics resources. Third, genomics is an equalizer in the research world.

Why Brisbane?

Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland and it is one of the third most famous cities in Australia. Brisbane's metropolitan area has a population of 2.3 million and the South East Queensland urban conurbation centred on Brisbane; encircle a population of more than 3 million. Brisbane is named after the Brisbane River on which it is located, which was named after the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825, Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane.

Brisbane has seen consistent economic growth in recent years as a result of the resources bang. White-collar industries include financial services, information technology, higher education and public sector administration generally concentrated in and around the central business district and recently established office areas in the inner suburbs. Most of the universities and research institutes located nearby Brisbane in Australia offer courses on Agriculture. University of Queensland is the one of the famous college offering courses and Plant Genomics, Plant genetics, Plant breeding

Tourism plays a major role in Brisbane's economy, being the third-most popular destination for international tourists after Melbourne and Sydney. Prominent tourist and amusement areas in Brisbane include the South Bank Parklands, Roma Street Parkland, the City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane Forest Park and Portside Wharf. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary opened in 1927 and was the world's first koala sanctuary. The suburb of Mount Coot-tha is home to a popular state forest, and the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.
