Session 1: Plant Science and Genomics
 
Plant science focuses on consideration of real world needs in the areas of plant improvement for product quality, safety and security and also on development and management of sustainable agriculture systems. It is the examination of plant growth, reproduction, change, adaptation and the utilization of plant for fibers, timbers and support purposes, the gathering of accessible courses and research openings empowers an impossible decent variety of individual interests and employment ways. Plant Science is basically a study where we can understand about how plant works, cell control of plant progression and change in demonstrate species, crops etc. Plant Genomics is the study of plant-specific genes, genetic variation and heredity. It can also be said to be a branch of genetics which is concerned with the sequencing and exploration of organism genome.
 
 
Session 2: Breeding and Molecular Breeding
 
Plant breeding is a method of altering the genetic pattern of plants in order to produce desired characteristics and to enhance their value and utility for human benefits. It can be accomplished through many different techniques ranging from simply choosing plants for propagation to much more complex molecular techniques such as cultigen and cultivar. Molecular breeding is defined as the method of using molecular biology tools in plants for breeding. It is the investigation of extending helpful inherited attributes in plants that people create. The purpose is to improve the hereditary breeding of plant in order to adapt with changing business demands in yield and quality. The most important methods are Mass selection, development of hybrid varieties and development of synthetic varieties.
 
 
Session 3: Agricultural Research and Horticulture
 
Agricultural research is the large multi-disciplinary field of biology that deals with agriculture which surround the parts of exact, natural, economic and social sciences that are used in the practice and understanding of agriculture. It also includes soil cultivation for crop cultivation. Recently, many developments have been done in few sectors like Agricultural drones, usage of technique of hydroponics, vertical farming instead of traditional farming. Horticulture is the culture of plants for food, materials, comfort and beauty. It includes plant conservation, landscape and garden design, soil management, landscape restoration, construction and maintenance.
 
 
Session 4: Forest Science and Technology
 
Forest science is a study where we can explore all aspects of natural and social sciences as these apply to the function and management of the forested ecosystems of the world. It is a complex ecosystem which consists mainly of trees buffering the earth and supporting a different lifestyle. Trees are a basic bit of nature. Growth of a lot of trees around us helps the environment to be clean and pollution free. Forest has three types such as tropical, boreal, temperate. We can observe a high level of biodiversity in Tropical rain forest. Forests also help us giving shadows and clean air for breathing. It also serves as the shelter of many animals and birds and that is very much needed to make a good ecosystem.
 
 
Session 5: Tissue Culture and Plant Proteomics
 
Tissue culture is a process of techniques used on a known composition nutrient culture medium to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile condition. This is done via use of a liquid, semi-solid or solid growth medium such as broth. It is used to convey clones of a plant in a method called miniaturized scale proliferation. Types of plant tissue culture are callus culture, organ culture, cell culture and protoplast culture. Proteomics is the huge-scale functional analysis of proteins taken from intact organisms, cell compartments, tissues, cells under specific conditions. This is expected to become an active field with a huge impact on plant science and genomics. It can also be said as the systematic analysis of the protein population in a cell, tissue, or any organism.
 
 
Session 6: Plant Fertilizers and Pesticides
 
Fertilizers are compounds that are added to plants to promote growth. Two types of fertilizers are there such as organic and inorganic. Organic fertilizers are something which is carbon based and are consisting of organic matter like leaves, cow dung and parts of plants. And inorganic one will be containing simple inorganic chemicals. The nutrients present in the fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulphur, magnesium etc. The fertilizers help the plants to grow properly by providing them the nutrients. Pesticides work as a safeguard against pests. It is a substance or mixture of materials designed for repelling, destroying, preventing and decreasing the damage of a pest or an insect. It may be made up of a biological agent or a chemical substance.
 
 
Session 7: Anti-Microbial and Medicinal Plants
 
Anti-microbial plant is an agent that kills or stops the growth of microorganisms. Medicinal plants also known as medicinal herbs had a huge role in ancient times. Nowadays, Pharmaceutical industries make use of these for human welfare. For example-Daffodils (Narcissus) to be used against alzheimer’s disease; Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum)  against parasites; Rhubarb, Cascara, Foxglove etc. plants for beating of heart; Peppermint for curing respiratory system for cough, cold, Asthma, Tuberculosis etc.; Garlic, oil of Oregano, Colloidal Silver and Ginger for its antibacterial, antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal properties.
 
 
Session 8: Tissue Engineering and 3D Printing
 
Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and appropriate biochemical and physiochemical factors to improve or replace biological tissues. Tissue engineering utilizes living cells as engineering materials. Types of cells are autologous, allogeneic, xenogeneic and isogenic. Primary cells are from the organism and secondary cells are from the cell banks.3D Printing is a process in which a three dimensional object is made from a computer aided design model by successively adding layer by layer. It is also known as additive manufacturing for this reason.
 
 
Session 9: Plant Taxonomy and Pathology
 
Plant taxonomy is the science which finds, portrays, characterizes, classifies, describes, identifies and names the plants. For example- kingdom, division, class, order, family, genus, species etc. of a plant. Plant pathology is the scientific study of pathogens and environmental conditions resulting into diseases in plants. It involves pathogen identification, plant disease cycles and resistance to plant diseases. Some plant diseases are chlorosis, root rot, leaf spot, blight, leaf curl, wilt, canker, stunting, gall, powdery mildew etc.
 
 
Session 10: Plant Nanotechnology and Microbiology
 
In plant nanotechnology, the flowers have  a secret signal for bees letting them know where to collect nectar. Nano-scale designs on the petals replicate light weight that effectively creates a ‘blue halo’ around the flower just to help them attract bees and fertilize them. This technology helps the plants to clean themselves and also to generate energy. Microbiology is the study of many microorganisms such as acellular, multicellular and unicellular. Its branches are Bacteriology, Virology, Phycology, Mycology and Protozoology.
 
 
Session 11: Soil Science and Crop-Seed Science
 
Soil science is the examination of the soil which involves soil improvement, request and mapping and deterioration. Soil plays a great role in a plant’s life. Apart from being the mechanical support it also provides nutrition to the plant for its growth such as Nitrogen, Potassium and phosphorus and also the water and minerals. Seeds are the starting point of most plants and crops for their production. Seed technology consists of methods to improve physical and genetic traits of a seed. Crop Science includes plant breeding, plant physiology, transgenic crop improvement. It is all due to production of food, fuel, fibers etc. for growing population and to avoid any type of food crisis for human welfare.

IMPORTANCE AND SCOPE
 
Plant Science was expanded during 1960s and 1970s because it had an access to new lands and many unemployed labors. Between 1962 and 1983, the agricultural sector had grown up by 4.1% on average per year. Plant Science 2020 is the conference based upon Plant Science and Genomics. Nowadays we are having a huge demand for food, medicine for the growing population of the world. So that we need the advanced technology with which we can easily fulfill the human needs. The popular and wise faces will be delivering a conference on this topic about all the Researches, Innovations and Workshops which are already done or being done. It is a great opportunity to know this advanced technology strategy. For this huge population, a wide range of improvements in the world-wide food supply chain is needed. The development and deployment of high-yielding crops will make a great future contribution to the agriculture as it is not relying on expanding farming land. And keeping the water management in mind, the increased production of food must take place on the same land but the water must be used less. We all know that without plants we and other animals can’t exist. The food which comes from the plants and on which we depend for living has an impact on the economy of a country. Plant Science has a wide scope for research in crop management, yield, production, physiology, breeding etc. Genomics is gradually getting very important for many developments like Hormone Signaling, Genome Evolution and Epigenetics.
