Meiosis is at the center of sexual reproduction. It ensures the creation of a new variation by mixing genetic material from the parents. In plants, this plays a key role not only in the context of natural selection and evolution, but also breeding for food security.
PMM will provide a platform for discussing topics related to the latest discoveries in plant meiosis, with a special focus on the control of meiosis and mechanisms of recombination. Population and evolutionary aspects of plant meiosis will also be covered. Furthermore, we will have the opportunity to see the latest discoveries and progress in plant breeding strategies.
An essential aspect of the meeting is to create a friendly atmosphere that will stimulate the exchange of knowledge and ideas between scientists and specialists. This is a unique opportunity to establish collaborations on future projects. The meeting will also serve as a platform for academic exchange between young, aspiring scientists and experienced, recognized researchers in the field of plant genetics.

About Poznań
Poznań is a vibrant Polish city, located in the heart of Europe, halfway between Berlin and Warsaw. Journeys are easy as the city is very well connected with the major European and Polish cities including Frankfurt, Munich, Copenhagen, Warsaw and London.
Moreover, Poznan is one of the biggest academic centres in Poland. The largest university in the city is Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU), where almost every third Poznan student is educated.
AMU is organized into 20 faculties, one of them being the Faculty of Biology, located in the north district of Poznań, at the Morasko Campus.
The meeting will take place on the newly founded Morasko Campus located 15 mins by tram from the city centre. The meeting will be hosted in the AMU Faculty of Biology building (Collegium Biologicum), in the Paczoski Auditorium, Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 6 Street, 61-614 Poznan
