Priming, Stress & Epigenetic Memory:
an integrated view from model plants to crops
EpiSeedLink International Conference 2026
About
.
This scientific conference is organized by the EpiSeedLink consortium. EpiSeedlink is a European research and training initiative focused on epigenetics and seed priming to improve crop performance under climate stress and has received it’s funding from the EU. It is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN), MSCA-DN Nº 101073476
Through this conference, EpiSeedLink aims to bring together leading scientists, industry partners, and early-stage researchers to share advances in:
- Seed biology and stress responses
- Epigenetic mechanisms in plants
- Translational research from Arabidopsis to crops
- Diagnostic tools and biotechnological innovations for agriculture
Join us to explore how cutting-edge epigenetic research can contribute to climate-smart agriculture and future-ready seed technologies.
