4thInternational Symposium on Edible Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients

(First Circular)

TheInternational Symposium on Edible Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients,which is supported and launchedby CentralAsianCenter of Drug Discovery and Development of Chinese Academy of Sciences,isheld every two years. It is faced to scientists who study on edible plant resources in the world. The 4thInternational Symposium on Edible Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients (ISEPR2014) will be held on July 25thto27th, 2014, inPamir, Tajikistan. The goal of ISEPR2014is to provide an opportunity to exchange the achievements in the studies on resources, cultivations, chemical constituents, bioactivitiesand medical applications of edible plants, to discuss the hot points andthe core problems in the relevant fields, and to foresee the prospect in basicresearches and technologies. The latest developments in this field home and abroad are expected to promote scientific exchanges, cooperationand communications among the scientists around the world.
