Welcome to the 13th Rosaceae Genomics Conference (RGC13)
Date: May 24–29, 2027
Location: Shanghai, China
The 13th Rosaceae Genomics Conference (RGC13) will be held from May 24 to 29, 2027, in Shanghai, China. As the premier international academic symposium in the field of Rosaceae genomics, RGC13 will convene leading global researchers to explore the latest advancements and future directions in the genomics of Rosaceae crops, including apple, pear, peach, strawberry, cherry, and rose.
The conference aims to comprehensively showcase groundbreaking research and scientific breakthroughs in Rosaceae plant science across a wide array of topics, including:
(1) Genomics: Diversity, pangenomes, genome variability, and crop evolution 
(2) Genomics: Biotic and abiotic stresses 
(3) Genomics: Fruit-related traits
(4) Genomics: Development-related traits
(5) Genomics: Informed breeding and genome editing
(6) Genomics: Database and tools
Featuring keynote presentations, concurrent symposia, and poster sessions, RGC13 serves as a dynamic platform for in-depth scientific discourse and intellectual exchange, fostering international collaboration and synergistic innovation.
Distinguished experts from across the globe—including Spain, New Zealand, the United States, France, Italy, Finland, Canada, and the Netherlands—alongside prominent scholars from China, will deliver academic presentations to share cutting-edge research data and translational insights.
We warmly welcome colleagues and researchers worldwide engaged in Rosaceae genomics and related fields to join us in Shanghai for this grand academic gathering.
