The 4th Network Meeting of the UV4Plants Association – Thank you for participation

It is high time for a summary of the 4th Network Meeting of the UV4Plants Association. The conference took place in Kraków, Poland from the 3rd to the 6th of July. It was organized at the Jagiellonian University by Justyna łabuz, Agnieszka Katarzyna Banaś, and Wojciech Strzałka. 60 scientists from 14 European countries and South and North Americas at the different stages of their scientific careers had an opportunity to exchange and share their experiences and results on different aspects of UV radiation. The participants had an opportunity to hear 24 talks grouped into six sessions, concentrating on topics related to plant adaptation and acclimation, UV light under natural conditions, different aspects of UVR8, and other photoreceptor signaling or UV-induced DNA damage and repair. The last session focused on practical applications of UV radiation. 26 posters were presented during the conference. Two of them were distinguished with prices founded by Agrisera and UV4Plants Association. The first award went to Neha Rai from the University of Geneva, Switzerland who presented a very interesting poster about “The UV-B photoreceptor mediated transcriptional regulation”. The second awardee was Gyula Czégény from the University of Pécs, Hungary who presented his work entitled “UVR8 mutation affects…
