PROGRAM > Proposed sessions

The conference is organized over three days around four main themes addressing several "hot
topics" of current research:

Session 1: Aeropalynology
- the pollen content of the atmosphere and allergies
- the pollen content of the atmosphere and crop yield
- future research on pollen as a pollution vector

Session 2: Morphology-Biology-Biochemistry of pollen
- epigenetics of pollen development
- advances in pollen biotechnology for crop improvement
- the mechanisms for regulating pollen functions in plant reproduction

Session 3: Melissopalynology
- the quality of the honeys linked to their origin, such as the "Appellation d'Origine" label
Protected"

Session 4: Paleopalynology
- understanding the past climate system
- vegetation response at local, regional and global levels in the context of current climate change
- the impact of past human societies on ecosystems
