Spatiotemporal omics have provided great new opportunities to systematically understand biological processes. The second International Plant SpatioTemporal Omics Research Conference will be held in Beijing, China, from November 27th-30th, 2025. This conference aims to unite researchers worldwide to share their scientific efforts in spatiotemporal omics in plant research and to discuss the further development of STOC Plant. *STOC Plant 2025 is hosted by Plant Spatiotemporal Omics Consortium (STOC Plant) and organized by BGI Research, Beijing, Southern University of Science and Technology, and GigaScience.
On Nov 28, 2025, Cell Press and STOC Plant will co-host a full-day symposium 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 symposium 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:
• AI-Driven Spatiotemporal Omics in Plants, co-hosted with GigaScience Press
• 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, GigaScience Press and STOC Plant will jointly convene the workshop "AI-Driven Spatiotemporal Omics in Plants", a flagship event of STOC Plant 2025. It will spotlight how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing plant spatiotemporal omics research and foster interdisciplinary dialogue among leading scientists.
