Decoding epigenetic data in plants for understanding plant adaptation mechanisms ( Sally Mackenzie)

The III InterGen has as its central theme “Artificial Intelligence in Plant Breeding: new approaches to the challenges of climate change”. The event will take place on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of September 2022.
This event, the third in partnership with the Corteva Agriscience Company, is an opportunity for professionals, experts, and students to discuss how advances in Artificial Intelligence have contributed to studies and advances in the field of Genetics and Plant Breeding, as well as to mitigate the effects of climate change.
In this sense, the topic is extremely important, since it integrates different approaches such as phenotyping, genotyping, and machine learning, with the objective of contributing to the interpretation of data for decision-making in the face of rapid environmental changes.
