About GPB 2019

Magnus Group takes the pride to announce that 3rd Edition of Global Congress on Plant Biology and Biotechnology (GPB 2019) held during March 11-13, 2019 at Singapore was a huge success. About 100 participants attended the event and shared their research work, expertise and experiences on Plant Biology and Biotechnology. We would like to thank all the Speakers, Delegates and Students for joining us at Singapore. The Meeting was not meant to be a single event, but a starting point for a series of events that helps to promote various research activities.
