XII Ethylene Symposium, June 26-30, 2023  - RoxyCOST session on June 29, 2023 (Toulouse, France)

We are pleased to announce you that RoxyCOST Action will be present at the XII Ethylene symposium (https://ethylene2023.wixsite.com/ethylene2023). This Symposium is an exciting event providing opportunities for scientists, professionals and graduate students to meet and exchange ideas on the most advanced aspects of ethylene biology and interacting hormones driving plant developmental processes. The RoxyCOST session will emphasize on post-harvest quality. As keynote speakers we will have the chance to hear Antonio Granell  (CSIC, Spain, Ethylene-related traits in the European tomato diversity pool) and Mingchun Liu (Sichuan University, China, Role and mode of action of ERFs in fruit ripening and quality regulation).

SOLANACEAE meetings are an international affiliation of researchers working on all aspects of the species of Solanaceae, including investigations spanning from cultivation to improved and maintenance of fruit quality. The scientific program of XVII SOLANACEAE2022 will cover all aspects of research including Plant Physiology and Anatomy, Cultivation, Plant Nutrition, Biotic and Abiotic Stresses, Postharvest Physiology, Fruit Quality and Storage, ‘Omics Technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), Molecular Breeding and Biodiversity, Epigenomics, Biotechnology and Applied Aspects.

 

October 04-06, 2022 – 2nd Annual meeting in The Institute for Biological Research 'Siniša Stanković' (Belgrade, Serbia) - Program

The Management Committee meeting and the Annual RoxyCost Meeting will be held in the Institute for Biological Research 'Siniša Stanković' in Belgrade from Tuesday 4th until Thursday 6th of October.

The Institute for Biological Research 'Siniša Stanković' in Belgrade is the leading multidisciplinary scientific institution in Serbia in the field of biological sciences. In its work, the Institute concentrates primarily on fundamental, multidisciplinary research in various biological disciplines. Research at the Institute focuses on the following scientific disciplines: biochemistry, molecular biology, cytology, animal physiology, plant physiology, neurobiology, neurophysiology, immunology, genetics, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem ecology, environmental protection, taxonomy and organic evolution.

This meeting is the opportunity for scientists and graduate students to meet and exchange ideas on the most advanced aspects of hypoxia; fruit phsyiology and post-harvest storage.

In addition, the 2nd ECI RoxyCOST session will be organized with very promising researchers and research. During this session, we will give the floor to junior scientists, to present their work and participate in a panel discussion for academic career advice.

October 18-20, 2021 - 1st Annual meeting in MAICH (Greece)

Program

The Management Committee meeting and the Annual RoxyCost Meeting has ben held in the Auditorium “Aristotle” at the MAICh Conference Center. The 1st annual meeting was the opportunity to know the research activities of each partners. Some very interesting discussion mixing hypoxia; fruit phsyiology and post-harvest storage have been started during this meeting, highlinting the importance to work together to tackle this challenge.

In addition, the 1st ECI RoxyCOST session has been organized with very promising researchers and research.

The local TV proposed a TV report on the importance of the challenge tackled by RoxyCOST action :
