111 Symposium--Future Directions for Crop Physiology

Oral Session
C02 Crop Physiology and Metabolism
We shall explore the role of plant physiology in crop improvement focusing on physiological and molecular breeding as well as improved understanding of the mechanistic and genetic basis of crop adaptation to a changing climate and the value of phenotyping in the genomics era.
