style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The International conference on advances in plant
sciences will be held from November 14-18, 2012 at Empress Hotel, Chiang Mai,
Thailand.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> The main objective
of the Conference is to showcase advances in botanical research and
conservation of plants across the globe. There is an unprecedented
development in every field of plant science in recent years because of rapid
progress made in the areas of molecular biology in general and genomics and
proteomics in particular. The skills and knowledge of botanist’s are needed
worldwide helping farmers to produce crops and conservation of natural flora
and fauna. There is an urgent need to understand the life cycle of several
endangered plant species so as to frame suitable strategies to save them
before extinction. The green plants are important as they provide food,
shelter, pure oxygen for life, cleaner environment and everything man needed
for survival. The scheduled conference organized by V S Research Foundation in
association with Century Foundation, Bangalore with the support from various
organizations will provide a scientific platform to exchange the information
on the recent advances in botanical research and to bring together the
International scientific community involved in the study of plants, ecology
and environment. It will encompass the following areas for deliberation
and will provide scope to plant biologists to share knowledge and exchange
latest information in different scientific sessions</SPAN><SPAN
