CONFERENCE 2024

Serbian Society of Plant Physiology (SPPS), the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” – National Istitute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade and the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade are organizing the international conference called “5th International Conference on Plant Biology (24th SPPS Meeting)” which will take place at the Srebrno jezero, in the Danubia Park Hotel from October 3rd to October 5th 2024

All information about the conference will be available on the website of the Serbian Plant Physiology Society, as well as on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Workshop on “Methodology of iridoids diversity investigation within the genus Nepeta”

Project “Omics-guided disentangling of the iridoid diversity in the genus Nepeta L. for in planta metabolic engineering towards sustainable exploitation” (NEPETOME), supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, #Grant No 7749433, organizes a one-day workshop on “Methodology of iridoids diversity investigation within the genus Nepetathat will take place on 6th October 2022 at Botanical garden “Jevremovac” in Belgrade. The workshop is organized for postgraduate and PhD students whose work focuses on plant physiology and molecular biology.

The lectures within the workshop aim to introduce the participants to the biology of different Nepeta species, as well as the possibilities of using the most modern methods of metabolic engineering, thus making the initial steps towards the large-scale production of Nepeta iridoids in plant factories. The participants will have the opportunity to interlink diverse theoretical concepts with cutting-edge methodology for their validation.

Selected speakers are Dr. Uroš Gašić, Dr. Jasmina Nestorović Živković, Dr. Slavica Dmitrović, Dr. Dragana Matekalo, Dr. Branislav Šiler, Dr. Tijana Banjanac, Dr. Jelena Božunović, Dr. Neda Aničić and PhD student Luka Petrović from the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” – National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade.

NEPETOME Workshop 2022 is envisioned to help students in their professional development, as well as their networking opportunities. Students are expected to take an active role in discussions on various topics.

Registration for 2nd Training Course Advancements in plant breeding, trial design and analysis

There are few places left for 2nd Training Course Advancements in plant breeding, trial design and analysis. The course, that will be held at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops Novi Sad, Serbia, on May 29-31, 2018, is aimed at professionals who are involved in plant breeding and germplasm improvement. It is an opportunity for breeders to expand their knowledge on new strategies and technologies that are applied in breeding programs, as well as R software and its use in plant breeding.
