Welcome to the 4th International Conference on “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro”!
Under appropriate culture and environment conditions, plant cells cultured in vitro are able to regenerate into complete fertile plants, and thus can be considered totipotent. Currently, this technology is not only a tool of great use in basic research, such as cell biology, genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology, but also has direct commercial importance in mass plant micro-propagation, genetic transformation, genome editing, speeding up the breeding process via the production of doubled haploids, production of secondary metabolites, etc.
The 4th International Conference on “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro”, to be held in Vienna, Austria on July 4-5, 2022, will discuss a wide range of modern in vitro plant cell and tissue culture technologies, fundamental aspects of plant cell totipotency, differentiation, regeneration, and embryogenesis, and practical applications of plant cell in vitro technologies for crop improvement.
This two-day event will provide leading academy and industry scientists with a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The 4th International Conference on “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro” will cover the following research topics:
Plant cell totipotency and differentiation;
Plant cell organogenesis and regeneration;
Somatic embryogenesis;
Anther/microspore cultures (androgenesis);
Ovary/ovule cultures (gynogenesis);
Plant cell suspensions;
Plant cell bioreactors;
Protoplasts;
Micropropagation;
In vitro fertilization;
Plant transformation.
Among the invited speakers are internationally known names such as Attila Fehér (Hungary), Christophe Gaillochet (Belgium), Pedro Pablo Gallego (Spain), Catherine Bellini (Sweden), Fredy Altpeter (USA), Pilar S Testillano (Spain), María Pilar Vallés (Spain), Ewa Grzebelus (Poland), Iwona Zur (Poland), and Nieves Vidal (Spain).
Approximately 250 participants are expected to attend this exciting scientific forum, including almost 40 lectures delivered by both worldwide-known and young, talented speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The program combines plenary lectures, poster sessions, exhibitions and interesting breakout sessions.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is April 1, 2022
Early bird registration: April 15, 2022
Please note: The next VISCEA Conference “Transgenic Plants & Transformation Technologies” will take place immediately after the “Plant Cell & Tissue Culture In Vitro“ conference on July 6-7, 2022, at the same location! We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate and register online for both at once, for a very attractive registration fee.
We look forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Welcome to the 6th International Conference “Transgenic Plants & Transformation Technologies”!
Nowadays, plant transformation and transgenic plants are core research tools to fight against hunger, open up new avenues of science, and evolve multipurpose crop varieties, capable of producing high harvests under normal and stressful natural conditions. The major technical challenge facing plant transformation is the development of methods and constructs to produce a high proportion of plants showing predictable and precise transgene expression, without collateral genetic damage.
The 6th International Conference “Transgenic Plants & Transformation Technologies”, to be held in Vienna, Austria on July 6-7, 2022, will discuss the current key objectives of plant transformation technologies, including the understanding and control of precise transgene integration, expression and stability in plants, improved transformation systems, addressing biosafety considerations and developing GM crops for the benefit of developing countries.
This two-day event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Transgenic Plants & Transformation Technologies”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The 6th International Conference “Transgenic Plants & Transformation Technologies” will cover the following research topics:
Agrobacterium and other methods of transformation;
Novel plant transformation systems;
Transformation elements: vectors, promoters, and selection systems;
Plastid transformation and molecular pharming;
Marker-free technologies;
Plant transformation of important crops;
Genetic engineering of useful traits.
Among the invited speakers are internationally known names such as Vitaly Citovsky (USA), Qiudeng Que (USA), Yurong Chen (USA), Stanton Bruce Gelvin (USA), Lan-Ying Lee (USA), Catherine Navarre (Belgium), Matthew Milner (UK), Linda Avesani (Italy), Vibha Srivastava (USA), Goetz Hensel (Germany), Fredy Altpeter (USA), and Stephan Wenkel (Denmark).

Welcome to the 3rd International Conference “CRISPR & Plant Genome Editing III”!
The CRISPR–CAS9 system revolutionized life sciences and plant biotechnology, in the development of new technologies for the precise manipulation of genes and genomes in cellula and in vivo. In addition to advancing our understanding of basic biology, CRISPR-based genome editing and engineering has numerous real-world applications, e.g., engineering plants that better provide fuel, food and industrial raw materials. Driven by advances in the CRISPR toolbox for the rapid, cheap, multiplex modification of genomes and breakthroughs in DNA synthesis technologies, the pace of progress enabled by these tools in the last 2 years has been breathtaking.
The 3rd International Conference “CRISPR & Plant Genome Editing”, to be held in Vienna, Austria on July 8-9, 2022, will discuss the advances in the CRISPR–CAS9 system and its application in genome editing and engineering. The case study and sessions will explore the potential application of CRISPR and other genome-editing tools for plant biology and crop improvement. Special emphasis will be placed on the CRISPR system, addressing the concept, technology, and challenges, such as off-target effects, efficiency improvement and delivery systems.
