ABOUT
About BRASSICA 2025

For several decades, the "Crucifer Genetics" and "Brassica" conference series have brought together scientists and breeders with a common interest in genetics and improvement of cruciferous vegetable and oilseed crops, meeting every two to four years at different international venues to discuss recent research results and developments.

 

After an interruption due to the Covid19 pandemic, the organisers of Brassica 2025, the 22nd Crucifer Genetics Conference, invite you to Giessen, Germany to revive these important meetings and resume the fruitful exchange and communication among the international crucifer genetics and breeding community.
