Plant Stress Symposium 2018 on Oxidative and Abiotic Stress

Oxidative stress is a consequence of many abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and pollutants such as heavy metals or herbicides. Environmental stress conditions strongly influence plant fitness and productivity.

The symposium is a European forum for young and experienced scientists involved in plant stress research. The meeting aims to provide an overview of plant oxidative and abiotic stress and solutions for stress mitigation. The symposium also considers the bridge between fundamental and applied science in order to improve crop performance.
