General Information

The 12th ISRFG is an important meeting in the areas of functional and evolutionary genomics of rice to help find solutions to help solve the 9 -billion people question - i.e. "How can we grow enough food to feed the world by 2050 given the rapid increase in the human population from ~7.3 billion now to over 9 billion by 2050".

This meeting will also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the completion of rice genome sequence by the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project and its impact on plant biology and agriculture. The IRGSP RefSeq still remains to this day as the highest quality genome sequence for any crop plant.
