26th EUCARPIA Maize and
Sorghum Conference

Bologna — June 30 – July 2, 2025

Breeding in the era of genome editing and artificial intelligence

Maize & Sorghum Breeding: Genome Editing, AI, and Biodiversity

Plant breeding has been evolving dramatically in recent years, especially with the advent of genome editing tools and the integration of artificial intelligence, which are increasing selection precision, speed, and efficiency. Progress is also being made in biodiversity analysis and use by reintroducing lost genetic traits and enhancing adaptability to changing and harsher environments. This conference will bring together top experts from both academia and the private sector to address the major challenges of maize and sorghum breeding.
