Scope of submission includes:

  • Genetic resource evaluation and exploitation of diversity potential
  • Molecular breeding techniques, functional gene analysis, and molecular marker development
  • Design breeding strategies and multi-trait collaborative improvement
  • Development of high-yield, high-quality, stress-resistant, and widely adaptable crop varieties
  • Application of smart agriculture technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence in breeding
  • Research on mechanisms of crop response to environmental stress


Submissions must consist of unpublished original research and should be submitted through the conference website’s online system. Abstract submission deadline: June 15, 2026; Full paper submission deadline: July 10, 2026. Outstanding papers accepted through peer review will be published in a special conference issue and may be selected for oral or poster presentations during the conference.
