On Nov 28, 2025, Cell Press and STOC Plant will co-host a full-day workshop Spatiotemporal Omics for Plant Ecosystem Resilience and Sustainability, as a key session of the STOC Plant 2025. Anchored on two pivotal topics Mapping Plant Resilience, and Unlocking Plant Resilience, supported by Cell Press journals One Earth and Cell Reports, the workshop will feature 8 keynote talks and interactive panel discussions. Stay tuned for further updates.
STOC Plant 2025 will present a rich academic event - now enhanced with a brand-new series of hands-on workshops. Key highlights include:
• Spatial Omics for wheat and beyond, co-hosted with the University of Adelaide and the Xianghu Laboratory
• Single-cell Multi-omics Toward Understanding Plant Functions and Phenotypes, co-hosted with the University of Mississippi and China Agricultural University
More sessions and themes will be released. Stay tuned for updates!
On Nov 28, 2025, Professor Zhong-Hua Chen from the University of Adelaide, Australia will host the workshop "Spatial Omics for wheat and beyond" at STOC Plant 2025. Leading experts will explore how cutting-edge spatiotemporal omics technologies can transform wheat research and discuss the launch of the Wheat Spatiotemporal Atlas Project.
