5 th Minisymposium Molecular Forage Crop Breeding

5th Minisymposium
Molecular Forage Crop Breeding
ETH Research Station Lindau-Eschikon
May 2, 2016, 13.00 - 18.00 h
We kindly invite you to attend the fifth edition of the bi-annual meeting of the Molecular Plant
Ecology (Agroscope) and Forage Crop Genetics (ETH) groups. The minisymposium will
take place in the framework of the visit of ca. 25 breeders and scientists of the forage
crop section of the German "Gemeinschaft zur Förderung von Pflanzeninnovationen
e.V." GFPi. In addition to interesting presentations, you will have the opportunity to interact
with our German partners and exchange ideas and opinions. The minisymposium is open to all
interested in grassland sciences and genetics.
Please register by e-mail before April 25 ([email protected]).
