ᄋ International Phytomedomics and Nutriomics Consortium (IPNC)
Synopsis
The International Consortium on Phytomedomics and Nutriomics (IPNC) organisation was established in 2010. The main theme of the workshop was to discuss and improve the spectrum of research on medicinal plants and nutraceutical crops for the development of plant based medicines to various diseases including cancer, diabetes and other human diseases. In this regard IPNC successfully organized ten workshops during the International Conference on the Status of Plant and Animal Genome Research since 2011. In the past workshops the speakers have given various talks on the concepts, strategies, tools and techniques of genomics for depiction of the genomes of medicinal plants and nutraceutical crops, the genes underlying the production of phytomedicines and nutraceuticals and utilization of these information for the enhancement of quantity and quality of the phytochemicals in the plant system. The 11th IPNC workshop will be focusing on applications of advanced tools and techniques of omics platform in breeding of medicinal and nutraceutical food crops. Comprehensive discussions during the interaction meetings among the participants will emphasize on the development of a roadmap for collaborative research including formulation of the precise plan of actions for future research at global level on the IPNC platform and drafting of a white paper for that purpose.
