GPMB 2026 | HYBRID EVENT
The 11th Edition of Global Conference on Plant Science and Molecular Biology (GPMB 2026) will be held in Rome, Italy on September 14–16, 2026 as a Hybrid event (in-person & online) under the theme “Global Perspectives on Plant Science: Innovation to Impact.”
GPMB 2026 brings together plant scientists, molecular biologists, geneticists, agronomists, horticultural researchers, breeders, data scientists, and industry innovators committed to translating discovery into field-ready impact across diverse geographies.
The scientific program will explore an extensive range of subjects, including plant genetics and genomics, molecular breeding strategies, crop biotechnology, bioinformatics, sustainable agriculture, plant physiology, and responses to environmental challenges. Both fundamental studies and advanced applications will be highlighted to reflect the evolving scope of this interdisciplinary field.
Participants will benefit from keynote addresses by leading experts, interactive panel discussions, oral and poster sessions, and practical workshops. These sessions are carefully designed to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the exchange of innovative research and methodologies.
Join us in Italy—or connect online—to share results, build collaborations, and accelerate solutions from lab to field.
