Dear Colleagues:
- We are pleased to invite you to take part in the 10th International Meeting on Recent Advances in Plant Biotechnology (RAPB 2024) dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the prominent scientist and the founder of Institute Cell Biology and Genetic Engineering (Kyiv, Ukraine) as well as Icon Genetics GmbH, Nomad Bioscience GmbH and Nambawan GmbH (Halle, Germany) Professor, Dr. of Science Yuri Gleba.
- RAPB 2024 will be held on 25-26 June 2024, Kyiv, Ukraine in the mixed mode (on-line\ offline). This conference continues the tradition of the Meetings which have been already organized by scientists of the Institute of Cell Biology and Genetic Engineering NAS of Ukraine since 1986. Despite russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine, we continue our work for the development of plant biotechnology in our country. So we hope RAPB 2024 will become an event which will bring together scientists who are working in the fields of plant genetic engineering and plant biotechnology.

The RAPB 2024 happened!
We still can't believe it, but we did it! About 100 participants from 17 countries spent two wonderful days filled with the excellent talks concerning the history and the modern achievements of plant biotechnology. Organizing committee is whole-heartedly grateful for all the Speakers and Participants as only our joint efforts made this Meeting possible, important and interesting one!
This time, only part of the participants could be present offline, because we know that Kyiv is not the safest place right now. However, we really hope and want to host all guests of our next meeting in our safe, freed from the russian occupiers and full of hopes and prospects Ukrainian home.
Many factors tried to get in the way of the conference, the most threatening of which were the long blackouts and problems with Internet in Kyiv caused by russian aggression. However, thanks to the Ukrainian Scientific Institute of Plant Breeding (VNIS, https://vnis.com.ua/ ) we were able to overcome these difficulties! We are also grateful to the Kyiv Palace of Children and Youth for providing the opportunity to broadcast the Meeting in the second day!
And of course we whole-heartedly grateful for the Armed Forces of Ukraine as we owe them every hour of this Meeting and every second of our lives!
