Dear Division 2 and IUFRO 2.09.02 Colleagues,

Pr. Stéphane Maury, WG1 leader of the EU COST action EPI-CATCH (Epigenetic mechanisms of crop adaptation to climate change) would like to advertise our memberships about the 3^rd EPI-CATCH Conference “Epigenetics in Crop Improvement, from Mechanisms to Applications” to be organized 30 May – 1 June 2023 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The conference will host sessions on plant epigenetic responses to environmental stresses, underlying epigenetic mechanisms, advances and new approaches in plant epigenetics for crop improvement in the context of global warming. Of course, a topic of high relevance for breeding and propagating forest trees!

Please find attached the conference brochure. If interested, you can access the conference website here to find appropriate links and deadlines. In case of any question about this event, please contact Dr. Federico Martinelli (federico.martinelli@unifi.it).

Warm regards! Stay tuned, new IUFRO 2.09.02 networking activities to be announced soon!

Jean-François

IUFRO 2.09.02 Coordinator
