3rd 2nd Workshop Carbon Allocation in Plants

The allocation of carbon in plants is a highly dynamic process shaped by environmental conditions, genetic regulation, and complex biological interactions. Recent breakthrough in this research area have improved our understanding of how factors such as aboveground and belowground factors influence carbon distribution and storage. At the same time, advances in genetic and molecular research are revealing the mechanisms that control carbon partitioning, offering new strategies to enhance plant productivity and resilience. These discoveries are driving innovative biotechnological approaches to optimize carbon allocation, improving efficiency in both natural and agricultural systems. Phloem biology further sheds light on how plants transport and distribute carbon, while emerging research on microbial interactions and symbiotic relationships highlights their crucial role in shaping carbon flow. By integrating insights from plant physiology, genetics, biotechnology, soil science, and ecosystem research, this workshop on carbon allocation in higher plants aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, spark new ideas, and propel scientific advancements with implications for both agriculture and environmental sustainability.

Seven sessions are organized: https://sugar-allocation-in-plants.workshop.inrae.fr/
> How Environmental Factors Shape Carbon Allocation
> Unveiling the Genetic and Molecular Secrets of Carbon Partitioning
> Innovative Biotech Solutions to Boost Carbon Allocation Efficiency
> Exploring Carbon Storage and Sequestration Mechanisms: The Cell biology Behind Partitioning
> The Fascinating World of Phloem Biology: Transporting Sugar and Photoassimilates Resource
> Decoding the Complex Regulation of Carbon Allocation in Plants
