Conferences

8th International Symposium on Plant Senescence

The conference aims to provide a comprehensive overview of plant senescence and aging and provoke ample discussion, with an emphasis on understanding of how plant senescence and aging affect plant productivity.

It will be structured into eight sessions:
 
  •  Session 1. Photosynthetic apparatus during leaf senescence
  •  Session 2. Subcellular organelle senescence
  •  Session 3. Organ senescence
  •  Session 4. Regulation of senescence
  •  Session 5. Senescence and stress
  •  Session 6. Senescence, reproduction, and plant productivity
  •  Session 7. Nutrient remobilization and postharvest physiology
  •  Session 8. Phenomics and new approaches (Natural variation and evolution)

Past
  • October 31 - November 4, 2016

  • 8th International Symposium on Plant Senescence

  • BOOYOUNG JEJU HOTEL & RESORT, 222, Jungmungwangwang-ro, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do 63547, South Korea

Reduction of asparagine in cured tobacco leaves by knocking-out senescence-induced asparagine synthetases resulted in low acrylamide formation in smoke

Coming soon
PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use. This site is for use by scientists, the public health and regulatory communities, and other stakeholders with an interest in tobacco policy. The purpose of this site is not for advertising or marketing. It is not intended for use by consumers.

Our RRPs

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 continued smoking. We have a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Because our RRPs do not burn tobacco, they produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
