• Molecular Markers
• Application of Molecular Results in Plant Breeding

• Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses:
  (drought, heat, salinity, soil pH and toxic elements, etc.)
• Yield and Yield Components
• Quality of Plant Production
• New research methods
• Other Agribusiness Need



Abstracts should be written in English, typed in Times New Roman font, 12 point, black only single-spaced, in A4 paper size format. Allow margins of 2.5 cm on all four sides of the text. APA style citations should be used in the text as well as for the list of references. The length of abstract should not be longer than one page.
