WELCOME MESSAGE: On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure to invite you to participate of the IV International Symposium on Citrus Biotechnology (ISCB) that will be held in Uruguay from 16th to 18th April 2018. A 3-days post Symposium tour to the main Uruguayan Citrus region is also offered after the Conferences; Dates: 19th-21th April. This Symposium is organized under the auspices of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), International Society of Citriculture (ISC) and the National Agricultural Research Institute (INIA) of Uruguay. The ISCB has been organized by the ISHS since 1998 when first was held in Eilat, Israel by the efforts of Drs. R. Goren, E. E. Goldschmidt, M. Davidzon and Y. Erner. The Second International Symposium was held in Catania, Italy in 2009 by the efforts of Drs. A. Gentile and E. Tribulato. The third Symposium was held in Shizuoka, Japan in 2014 by the efforts of Drs. Shimizu and Tominaga. The ISCB aims to join knowledge in a wide range of fields where Biotechnology is applied in order to improve the Citrus Industry worldwide. The applications and approaches based on biotechnology are widely used in all research fields for greatly reducing time span and improving reliability in citrus studies for breeding, genomics and genetics, physiology and fruit quality, pests and diseases management and the advance and application of new emerging technologies. Therefore we are confident that this ISCB will greatly contribute to strength the development of your research as well as the Citrus Industry. We look forward to see you in Uruguay. Dr. Fernando Rivas Convener

OUR SPEAKERS: Plenary Lecture: “A new evolutionary framework for the genus Citrus”. Dr. Manuel Talon is Head of the Centro de Genómica at IVIA, (Valencia). He received his Ph Degree in Biology at the University of Valencia (Spain). He holds the “Antonio José Cavanilles” and the "Manuel Alonso" first awards to the scientific research on the Agri-food sector. He is the scientific leader of the Citruseq/Citrusgenn Consortium, a private-public initiative that is participating in the study of the genomes of the genus Citrus. This information is being used to elucidate the relationships between genomic variants and agronomic traits, to

authenticate varieties and to build specific markers for breeding. He has developed 3 plant patents that are being exploited by the agricultural sector and demanded by multinational companies. He is author of more than 200 publications, out of which about 120 are SCI Journals, including Nature Biotechnology and Nature. He has acted as editor of 3 university textbooks, is author of 2 technical books and has wrote 16 book chapters. According the WOS, he has been cited 11.630 times, possesses an h-index of 48 and has delivered more than 450 presentations. He is member of several Editorial Committees and has acted as reviewer in not less than 30 Scientific Journals.
Prof. JiHong Liu
Plenary lecture: “Transcriptional regulation of abiotic stress-responsive genes in Citrus and its related genera: from mechanism elucidation to gene exploitation” Prof. Dr. Ji-Hong Liu graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University in 1990, and continued his master and PhD degree study there. In 1999, he earned his PhD degree and got the position in the same university. Since 2003 until now he has been working on stress physiology and molecular biology in citrus and its related genera, such as Poncirus and Fortunella. He has been supported by Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science to visit the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science, Japan, as a post doc or a visiting scholar (four times). In addition, he is also a visiting scholar (Tang Scholar) at Cornell University from 2013-2014, under the support of Tang Cornell-China Scholars Program. At present he has three major research highlights in his laboratory, including elucidation of the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying biotic or abiotic stress tolerance, isolation and functional characterization of agronomically valuable genes involved in stress response, creation of novel germplasms with enhanced stress tolerance via genetic engineering. So far, he has published nearly 70 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, including Plant Physiology, Plant Cell Environment, Journal of Experimental Botany, among others. He acts as an Academic or Associate editor for Gene, PLoS One, and Acta Physiologiae Plantarum.
PhD. Leandro Peña
Prof. Nian Wang
Plenary lecture: “Resistance to pests and diseases through biotechnological use of volatile organic compounds in citrus varieties”. Leandro Peña is specialized in plant breeding through biotechnology and has over 20 years experience on working in citrus biotechnology. His current research projects include rapid induction of flowering and consequent reduction in the juvenile period, pathogen and pest resistance (Huanglongbing, Canker, Black spot, Gummosis, Tristeza; Medfly) modulation of tree size and architecture, modifying terpene metabolism and composition of carotenoids and flavonoids in the fruit to improve nutritional and organoleptic characteristics. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in international journals including Nature Biotech., New Phytol. or Plant Phys. and book chapters on these topics. Author of 6 international patents. He has participated in numerous evaluation committees of Spanish national and international agencies. He has been consultant of the biotechnology company Alellyx, the National Academy of Sciences USA, the Florida Citrus Production Advisory Board, and Fundecitrus (Fundo de Defesa da Citricultura).

Plenary Lecture: “Citrus improvement via CRISPR technology”. Dr. Nian Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Cell Science at the Citrus Research and Education Center, University of Florida (UF). He is a UF Research Foundation Professor and Director of China-USA Citrus Huanglongbing Joint Laboratory. He received his B.S. degree in Plant Protection at Shandong Agricultural University, and his M.S. degree in Plant Pathology at China Agricultural University, followed by a Ph.D. degree in Plant Pathology and Microbiology at Texas A&M University. Dr. Wang then conducted postdoctoral research at University of California, Berkeley. His research interests include molecular genetics and functional genomics of plant pathogenic bacteria, molecular plant-microbe interactions, and management of plant bacterial diseases. He has published more than sixty refereed papers including recent papers in Annual Review of Phytopathology, PLoS Pathogens, ISME, MPMI, Plant Biotechnology, and PNAS. He has served as Chair of the Bacteriology Committee of American Phytopathological Society, Chair of Pierce's Disease Research Scientific Advisory Panel, Senior Editor for Plant Disease, Associate Editor for Phytopathology and Guest Editor for PLOS Pathogens.
