Attendance to the XXIII Plant and Animal Genome Congress – San Diego, USA

Abstract

The aims of this travel were: to participate to the XXIII Plant and Animal Genome Congress from January 10th to 14th at San Diego, USA. to present the Poster "We prefer them old: Epigenetic control of wine quality in response to grapevine age". to visit the Modesto Wine research station (Gallo Winery). present results on our project "Epigenetic control of wine quality in response to grapevine age" to Dr Nick Dokoozlian, responsible for research and innovation in the areas of grape and wine production at Gallo Winery).

Summary

PAG is the largest Agriculture-Genomics meeting in the world. It brings together over 3000 leading genetic scientists and researchers in plant and animal research, and over 130 exhibits, 150 workshops, 1100 posters and over 1800 abstracts. These included many topics including a workshop on the Grape Genome Initiative and EPIC: the Plant Epigenome Project which were of great value for our current research on epigenetics in grapevine.
