International symposium on induced mutations in higher plants.
Organised by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, this will be the 8th in its symposium series dedicated to harnessing and disseminating information on current trends in induced mutagenesis in higher plants. The first and last symposia were held in 1969 and 1995 respectively. Topics to be addressed in the symposium include `Induced mutations in crop breeding programs: integration with molecular, bio- and other relevant technologies` and `Mutation induction, targeted selection and mutated genes in functional genomics`.
