The conference is at the crossroads of plant and crop physiology, genetics and breeding.

It aims at presenting an accurate view on recent advances in the mechanisms associated with plant response to water deficit, on the phenotyping of these mechanisms, on their genetic variability and on the modelling of relevant allelic effects on plant behavior under changing climates.

A large space will be devoted to discussions on opportunities and limits of breeding for drought tolerance, and links between upstream disciplines and breeding.  This will foster dialogue between academic and private sector, young scientist and senior breeders, initiatives from the Northern regions where the impact of climate change is becoming visible and the developing countries that already face drought-prone conditions.

Call for abstracts and registrations are open until March 6^th, 2015.
