In addition we will have three workshops that aim to introduce new technologies that are available to plant scientists:

* Pre-Meeting Workshop: Finding your Arabidopsis Gene in Wheat.
Organiser: Philippa Borrill and Cristobal Uauy

* Workshop 1: Usage and Application development within Araport.
Organisers: Agnes Chan and Chris Town

* Workshop 2: Introduction to CRISPR-Cas, troubleshooting target design and verification of mutants. Organisers: Amanda Hopes and Vladimir Nekrasov

We encourage young researchers to participate in our extended poster session and to apply to give a 2 minute flash presentation.
