Abstract

An outstanding prospective on current plant science research was presented when the Spanish Society of Genetics held its 38th biennial meeting in Murcia, the county seat of the fertile region of Murcia, Spain, from 21 to 23 September 2011. This conference traditionally brings together Spanish scientists from the Iberian Peninsula and Europe, along with renowned international speakers giving plenary lectures. The Congress, organized by the Department of Genetics of the University of Murcia, covered different fields of genetics: population genetics, human genetics, plant and animal biotechnology, microbial genetics, gene expression and epigenetics, cytogenetics, plant genetics, and genomics. The sessions on plant genetics, genomics, and plant biotechnology, chaired by Jose Luis Micol (Universidad Miguel Hernandez, Elche), Roderic Guigo (CRAG, Barcelona), and Miguel Aranda (CEBAS-CSIC, Murcia), respectively, were particularly relevant for the field of plant growth regulation.
