Description: The Asia Pacific Conference on Plant Tissue
Culture and Agribiotechnology will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia under
the auspices of the Asia Pacific Association of Plant Tissue Culture and
Agribiotechnology and the Academy of Sciences Malaysia. The Asia Pacific
Association of Plant Tissue Culture and Agribiotechnology is a voluntary
academic organization that aims to facilitate the exchange of information,
ideas and manpower in the field of plant biotechnology, with particular
emphasis on plant tissue culture and its application to agriculture.

Nanotechnology has been widely touted
as the basis of ‘the next industrial revolution’. A particular
aspect of nanotechnology is its interface with the biological sciences,
which has been dubbed ‘bionanotechnology’. This emerging discipline
draws on biological inspiration and provides new tools to investigate
biological systems with unprecedented resolution and input. Despite its
impact on the biological sciences, nanotechnology has been largely driven
by the physical science and engineering and we feel it’s now timely
to engage life scientists in this exciting and rapidly developing area.

January 4 - 5, 2007
Video-delivered via Web archiving.
Workshop is available for noncredit professional development and CEU-credit.
Full course is available for undergraduate and graduate academic credit
and runs from 1/4/07-3/5/07.
Cost: For noncredit and CEU-credit participants, cost
is $250 on or before 12/22/06; $300 thereafter. Regular UNL tuition applies
for academic credit.
Synopsis: Genetic engineering is one of the most rapidly
integrated and intensively scrutinized technologies applied to crop production
in the United States. The impact of transgenic crops on our nation's food
system requires producers, agribusiness professionals, educators and students
to have a working knowledge of the genetic engineering process and how
these crops are different from their conventional counterparts. That is
the focus of "Crop Genetic Engineering."
