Welcome to iMOSS-ICMBS 2024
It is our greatest pleasure to invite you to participate in The International Conference on the Molecular Biology of Streptophytes (ICMBS), jointly organised by Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen (AGIS, CAAS), BGI-Research and The International Molecular Moss Science Society (iMOSS). The iMOSS-ICMBS meeting will take place on 1st - 4th June 2024, in Shenzhen, China. The meeting covers current research using the streptophyte algae, bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns. Following the establishment of an array of emerging model systems, and the generation of new resources, research within these areas has become vibrant. We are very happy to welcome researchers to Shenzhen, China to witness these great advances, and are excited to bring together the global community to enhance communication through the scientific network. We will work together to make iMOSS-ICMBS a fruitful meeting.
