XVII Plant Molecular Biology Meeting
It is an immense pleasure to invite you to the XVII Meeting of Plant Molecular Biology that will be held in Castelló de la Plana 3-5 th of July 2024.
The Meeting of Plant Molecular Biology (RBMP) is an important biennial plant research event, open to scientists working in the academia and the industry. It constitutes an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange, presentation of novelties at the conceptual and methodology levels, thus expanding visibility and promoting collective scientific enrichment and the establishment of new and potentially fruitful collaborations.
Nowadays, one of the aims of the plant molecular biology research is to fulfill the increasing demands of agriculture and the challenges of climate change is posing on food production. Therefore, this meeting will focus on fundamental and applied research considering the needs of agriculture and presenting new advances in plant biotechnology. To attain these objectives, the meeting has the support of the biotechnological platform BIOVEGEN.
As in past editions, the active participation of young researchers in both the scientific committee and the oral presentation of their work is strongly encouraged. To this respect, as a gold standard to ensure an excellent scientific level, we have invited senior researchers of international prestige for plenary sessions. The meeting is fully committed to gender equality, as seen in the composition of the scientific and organizing committees.
The XVII RBMP will be held in Castelló de la Plana, a small city by the Mediterranean Sea, with a unique architecture and gastronomy and an important historical background. The historical and artistic heritage of Castelló is reflected in its numerous monuments, which can be admired in a walk through its old town. Some of the most outstanding are the cathedral of Santa María, of Gothic style; the town hall, of neoclassical style; the Fadrí, the independent bell tower of the cathedral; the central market, of modernist style; the municipal palace, of Renaissance style; or the Real Casino Antiguo, of eclectic style. The museums of Castelló offer a wide variety of themes, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Ethnological Museum, the Ceramic Museum, the Orange Museum or the City Museum, at walking distance from the city center. The gastronomy is based on fresh products from the orchard, the sea, or the mountain being rice dishes the most popular. The beaches of Castelló are another of its great attractions, as they have an extension of 8.6 kilometers of fine and golden sand, bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.
We are looking forward to having you here in our University Jaume I, in Castelló de la Plana, and enjoy your presence in a relaxing and friendly environment.

Plenary Speakers
Daniel J. Gibbs
School of Biosciences
University of Birmingham
Our group investigates how plants use protein degradation as a mechanism for regulating cellular processes and sensing their environment. We are especially interested in transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms controlling flooding stress and hypoxia signalling – in particular, how proteolytic control of chromatin modifying enzymes connects long term gene expression changes to stress perception.
We also have interests in protein acetylation and co-translational protein quality control. The general aim of our work is to increase our understanding of how plants develop and survive in dynamic environments, with the hope that our fundamental discoveries in Arabidopsis can be translated to agriculturally important crops to improve growth, productivity, and stress tolerance.
Antonio Molina
Centro de Biotecnología y Genómica de Plantas
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM)
Our group focuses on the characterization of the molecular and genetic bases of plant resistance to necrotrophic fungi, using the interaction between Arabidopsis thaliana and the ascomycete fungus Plectosphaerella cucumerina as a patosystem model. The main objective of our group is the understanding of how plants detect these types of pathogens and activate the immune response to confer improved resistance to diseases, which involves the activation of several defensive signaling pathways.
Moreover, we are interested in the molecular mechanisms of virulence and pathogenicity of P. cucumerina, using comparative and evolutionary genomics studies. Another line of research focuses on the mechanisms by which plants determine the endophytic fungal microbiota constitution in natural habitats and how it positively regulates plant physiology and plant well-being

Biologist, PhD in Fungal Biology and Biotechnology. With CNR since 1998, Raffaella is currently Research Director at CNR-IPSP.
Her research has focused on studies aimed to highlight the cellular and molecular bases of mycorrhizal interactions, mainly focusing on cell wall changes, nutritional exchanges, and cell-specificity in mycorrhizal roots applying laser microdissection (LMD). Current research interests mainly address crop responses to environmental stresses and the role of root-associated microorganisms (e.g., arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) in improving tolerance as well as the relevance of roots traits.
This is achieved by integrating cellular and molecular analyses, including transcriptomics and metabolomics to investigate the molecular levels that mycorrhizal fungi pull within plant cells.

AR(t)RBMP
Is a symbiosis between Art and Science possible? How can artistic freedom and scientific rigor be united? What could an artist do in a Plant Molecular Biology laboratory?
These are key questions for AR(t)RBMP 2024, a participatory Art and Science initiative within the XVII Plant Molecular Biology Meeting. We invite attendees to explore these questions by participating in one of two ways:
Category A: Create and Submit Your Artwork
Category B: Propose Collaboration Projects
Why Collaborate?
There is a growing global interest in fostering dialogue between Art and Science. Collaboration initiatives, like AR(t)RBMP, bring artists and researchers together to explore new ways of seeing and representing reality. This can lead to innovative solutions to complex challenges.
Artist-in-Residence Programs
One successful collaboration model is the "artist-in-residence." Artists work alongside scientists in research centers, learning about their work and creating art inspired by the experience. This artwork is then exhibited and published, increasing public awareness and engagement with science.
Explore Existing Collaborations
For inspiration, visit the following Art and Science projects:
CERN (https://arts.cern),
Fermilab (https://events.fnal.gov/art-gallery/artist-in-residence),
CNIO (https://www.cnio.es/en/cnio-and-society/cnio-arte/),
IRB Barcelona (https://www.irbbarcelona.org/en/outreach/public-engagement/art-and-science/artist-residence-programme), and
IBMCP (https://valenciaplaza.com/arte-e-inteligencia-artificial-contra-el-cambio-climatico).
For in-depth exploration, download this ArtSciencePapers.zip file, which details past collaborations and resulting artworks.
Voting and Awards
An online voting system will be available during the meeting for all submissions in each of the two categories. The submissions receiving the most votes in each category will receive a prize diploma. Additionally, projects in Category B will be considered for hosting an artist residency in the corresponding laboratory.
Complementary Activities
IBMCP researchers will present a talk discussing their experiences with the AR(t)IBMCP biennial artistic residency program (https://art.ibmcp.upv.es) and other Art and Science projects at IBMCP, including "Sonification of Genetic Sequences" and the "Plant Ultrasound Atlas Project" (in collaboration with VRAIN (https://vrain.upv.es) and Colectivo Estampa (https://tallerestampa.com)).
Organizer
AR(t)RBMP is organized by the IBMCP with the support of the Organizing Committee of the XVII Plant Molecular Biology Meeting.
Key dates
SITE
The Congress will be held from 3, 4 and 5 to July, 2024 at the Pranimf of the Universitat Jaume I, Campus Riu Sec, s/n 12071 Castellón de la Plana Spain.
