Spatiotemporal omics are enabling dynamic, high-resolution insights into development, stress responses, and environmental adaptation, complementing traditional genomic and multi-omics approaches. Together with advances in AI, multi-omics integration, imaging, and functional genomics, these approaches are advancing plant biology and crop genomics while supporting crop improvement and agricultural biotechnology.
We invite the global research community to the Third International Plant Spatiotemporal Omics Research Conference, to be held in Perth, Australia, from September 13-16, 2026 The conference will provide a forum for exchanging emerging concepts and methodologies and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across experimental and computational plant science.
We look forward to welcoming researchers from diverse disciplines to share recent advances and explore future directions in plant spatiotemporal omics and its applications in agriculture.
Multi-Omics are revolutionizing plant science by providing unprecedented opportunities to systematically decode biological processes. To highlight cutting-edge advances in this dynamic field, GigaScience is launching a Thematic Series on Plant Multi-Omics in collaboration with the Third International Plant Spatiotemporal Omics Research Conference (STOC Plant 2026). We invite submissions of significant, reproducible research that leverages discoveries and technologies in the plant multi-omics field.
