735 Symposium--Implications of Global Climate Change to Plant Genetic Diversity

Oral Session
C08 Plant Genetic Resources
Plant genetic resources will be impacted by global climate change in many areas. This symposium will discuss global climate change impacts on plant ecology, pathogen distributions, hybridization, invasiveness, physiology,and role of industry.
