The Group of Studies on Genetics and Plant Breeding “Ganho Genético” (Genetic Gain) invites undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in the area of Genetics and Plant Breeding and related areas to participate in the 5th International Symposium on Genetics and Plant Breeding which theme will be From Micro to Macro: Rethinking Sustainable Agriculture. The event will be held at the UENF Convention Center, from May 23 to 25, 2023.
The 5th International Symposium on Genetics and Plant Breeding is an event held in partnership with the Corteva Agriscience Company, and it is an opportunity for students, professionals, and specialists to discuss how plant breeding has acted to promote sustainable agriculture from the perspective of plant, microorganism and environment interaction within the most diverse areas, integrating multi sciences in the development of crops in the new challenging scenario of climate changes.
Certainly, with the bodies of scientists present at this event, great discussions will be raised, which will allow scientific advances in the frontier area of science. Update your knowledge, discuss new subjects, expand your contact list, and send your work! We are waiting for you at the 5th International Symposium on Genetics and Plant Breeding!
Dear attendees and presenters,
We would like to remind you that any cancellation made by authors for the upcoming symposium will not be eligible for a refund unless it is requested 30 days prior to the starting date. This policy has been put in place to ensure that we are able to provide the best possible experience for all participants.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the conference.
The abstracts should be written in English as a single paragraph and should not contain more than 300 words with single-spaced and justified text, Times New Roman font size 11, and should include an introduction, research objective, materials and methods, results, and conclusion (see template). Literature reviews and scientific notes will not be accepted. The abstract title (font size 12) should be centered and in bold capital letters, leaving a double-spaced line, and then adding in lowercase letters, justifying, the name(s) and surname(s) of the member(s) of the research team, separated by a comma, font size 11. The institution of affiliation, address, and email should be written in font size 10 and centered, after a space below the authors, using increasing numerical superscripts. Only one abstract per author will be accepted, with the primary author of the abstract able to participate as a co-author in other works. The abstract must have a maximum of 6 authors. The authors should provide, in the upper left corner of the page, above the title, the research concentration area, which must be inserted in one of the following areas: Plant Breeding, Omics, or Genetic Resources. After the abstract, three keywords separated by a semicolon should be indicated, which are not present in the title (download template). The abstract should be sent to the following email: visgpb@gmail.com. The works must be presented in poster format (download template), with the exception of the top three works, which must be presented orally during the event. For orally presented works, the presentation must be made in PowerPoint in a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 minutes (download template). The oral and poster sessions will take place at a location, date, and time determined and disclosed by the organizing committee on the event website.
APPROVAL OF ABSTRACTS
The abstracts will be published in the event proceedings only if approved by the Scientific Committee. Abstracts that do not follow the guidelines or are not related to the areas of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant Genetic Resources and Omics will not be approved. Approved abstracts will be evaluated by experts from public and private institutions working in the fields of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Omics and Plant Genetic Resources.
Each abstract will be evaluated by three experts. A score from 0 to 10 will be given by each expert for each abstract. The final score will be the average of the three scores. The experts will evaluate the abstracts based on the following criteria:
Innovation in the concentration area
Level of the adequacy of the methodology
Clarity of the presented information
Importance of the presented scientific conclusion
AWARDING OF BEST WORKS
This year, the top six works will be awarded, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners presenting their works orally. The 4th, 5th, and 6th place winners (one from each concentration area) will present their works in the poster category, as well as all other works. The prizes will be distributed according to the highest score within each evaluation area.
1st place R$ 600.00
2nd place R$ 500.00
3rd place R$ 400.00
4th place R$ 300.00
5th place R$ 200.00
6th place R$ 100.00
NOTES
