VII International Symposium on Production and Establishment of Micro propagated Plants

摘要

The VII International Symposium on Production and Establishment of Micropropagated Plants (PEMP Brazil) was held under the aegis of the ISHS at the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), Brazil, from 24 to 28 April, 2017. PEMP Brazil was partially financed by the Brazilian Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Minas Gerais State Research Foundation (FAPEMIG). This was the first time that PEMP had taken place in the southern hemisphere, turning Brazil into the pioneer country in South America to host one of the most important world scientific events in the area of in vitro plant propagation. The symposium promoted an interaction between the scientific, academic and commercial sectors, gathering 96 participants from 24 countries around the world in order to share experiences and knowledge related to in vitro propagation techniques.
