We are pleased to open the official website of the 19^th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics or ISRFG 2022, to be held on November 4-7^th at Le Meridien Beach Resort Hotel, Phuket, Thailand.

The annual ISRFG is one of the most extended scientific arenas with the highest scientific standard. Under the theme “Driving the Next Green Revolution: New Frontiers in Food and Nutritional Security,”. We believe that the symposium will be relevant and up-to-date on the current situation faced by rice farmers treated by global warming. The objective is to bring together rice functional genomics research community to discuss about the new frontier research to mitigate the impact of global warming on rice productivity, food and nutritional security in the near future.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you to register now and enjoy the early bird rate. This year, the symposium will be the first entirely onsite conference on one of the breathtaking beach resources in Phuket Island, the pearl of the Andaman Sea.

The conference will cover a wide range of issues with an emphasis on functional genomics underlying new traits/genes for adaptability under extreme climate changes and productivity of rice grown in environmentally friendly practices. New frontiers research may include but are not limited to Efficient photosynthesis, Water and nitrogen use efficiency, Heat and drought tolerance, Sea rice, Net zero carbon emission rice, High-yielding organic rice, multiple disease and insect resistance, and High nutritious rice. Comprehensive insight via functional genomics may impact more efficient precision breeding to drive the next green revolution into environmentally-friendly rice and future foods.
