We are pleased to announce that the Genetics Society of Malaysia (Persatuan Genetik Malaysia, PGM) with the support by various institutions in Malaysia will be organizing the following conference:

The 7th International Plant Breeding and Biotechnology Conference 2026 (IPBBC2026).
Date: 28 – 30 April 2026 (Tuesday-Thursday)
Venue: The Noble Resort Hotel, Melaka, Malaysia
Theme: Plant Breeding and Biotechnological Innovations for a Resilient Future

The Conference cordially invites academics, practitioners, scholars, researchers, and policymakers from government agencies to participate as participant or as presenter to present oral or poster papers at IPBBC2026. Interested participants are encouraged to register and submit their abstracts online via:
