Oral and poster presentations are invited on the following themes which will form the basis of the four sessions: Molecular, genetic and physiological control of plant interaction with the environment including plant adaptation and plasticity, genotype x environment, drought tolerance Molecular, genetic and physiological control of plant communication including within (e.g. rootstock/scion cultivar) and between plant signaling. Molecular, genetic and physiological control of plant production including fruit set, fruit development, self-(in)compatibility, crop yield, pest & disease resistance Molecular, genetic and physiological control of fruit quality, including postharvest quality, fruit nutritional composition, consumer traits
