Co- and posttranslational control in chloroplasts

Münster, Germany, 18-20 November 2024

The "Co- and Post-translational Control in Chloroplasts" symposium aims to gather leading experts and emerging scientists to discuss the forefront of research on the mechanisms of chloroplast protein regulation. The symposium will provide a vibrant forum for discussing the latest advancements, methodologies, and innovations in this field. The workshop presents a unique opportunity to share insights into how co- and post-translational modifications (CPTMs) within chloroplasts influence vital processes such as photosynthesis, carbon assimilation, and a plant’s instantaneous acclimation to environmental changes. Given their crucial role in enabling plants to quickly adapt to external stimuli, these plastid CPTMs are essential for plant resilience, adaptation strategies and stress tolerance. As we delve into the complexities of these modifications, this workshop emerges as a timely and important meeting in the face of ongoing challenges posed by climate change and the pressures of a growing global population.
