Welcome Message

We are delighted to invite you to the Brassica 2028, taking place from November 13th to 17th, 2028, in the beautiful port city of Kobe, Japan, under the aegis of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS).

Building on the distinguished history of the International Symposium on Brassicas and the Crucifer Genetics Workshop series, the VIII International Symposium on Brassicas and the 23rd Crucifer Genetics Conference will be held jointly as Brassica 2028. The conference will bring together researchers, breeders, and professionals from the public and private sectors to showcase recent advances in Brassica science. It will provide opportunities for leading experts, early-career researchers, and students from around the world to present their latest discoveries, exchange innovative ideas, and encourage collaboration.

Our comprehensive program will feature keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, and interactive discussions covering diverse areas of Brassica science, including breeding, genetics, genomics, epigenetics, phenomics, agronomy, plant protection, reproduction, stress physiology, nutritional value, and production systems.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kobe for an inspiring and fruitful symposium!
