9th International Symposium on Plant Senescence

      Date
      Apr 1, 2019 - Apr 4, 2019
      Location
      Berlin, Germany
      The 9th International Symposium on Plant Senescence will be held in Berlin, Germany. The 4-day symposium will take place at the Leibniz-Saal of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). The symposium is the most important international forum on plant/crop senescence. In the past, it has attracted global players and excellent researchers working on plant aging to initiate new collaborative projects. Senescence is a complex, genetically programmed phenomenon that constitutes an important biological process for plant fitness in natural ecosystems and for agricultural productivity of crops. While In the absence of stress, senescence is under the control of developmental age, it is also largely affected by diverse environmental cues. The symposium will discuss recent discoveries in crop senescence from different angles, including metabolomics, transcriptomics, physiology, systems biology and agricultural perspectives.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
