Evogene will participate at the Annual Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference (ABIC), which will be held in Cork, Ireland on August 24-27th 2008.
The annual conference is one of the most important events in the field of agricultural biotechnology, and provides a discussion forum on the latest cutting-edge scientific advances in agricultural biotechnology research and future directions of agricultural biotechnology.
The theme of ABIC 2008 is Agricultural Biotechnology for a Competitive and Sustainable Future, and it will be dealing with the way agricultural biotechnology R&D will impact sustainable social and economic development at times when global agricultural production faces significant challenges.
Evogene will give a lecture on its proprietary computational gene discovery platform, the ATHELET (Agro Traits Harvest LEeads TEchnology), which enables the rapid and reliable discovery of candidate genes with high relevance to a target trait of interest.
