SYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE
SPEAKERS
Dr. Osvaldo Kiyoshi Yamanishi
University of Brasília
Dr. Yamanishi received B.S. (Agronomy) degree from Federal University of Paraná, M.Sc.(Horticulture) from Kochi University, PhD (Horticulture) from University of Ehime. Most of his works has been directed to develop read-to-use technologies for the papaya chain such as the implementation of Integrated Papaya Production to raise production standards and the asexual propagation of papaya through cuttings and grafting in the nursery to produce 100% hermaphrodite plants with superior traits.
Dr. Eliemar Campostrini
Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense
Dr. Eliemar Campostrini is professor of Plant Physiology/Ecophysiology of Tropical and Subtropical Crops at Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense, Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, Brazil. He has currently authored or co-authored 101 publications in international refereed journals. Dr. Eliemar and colleagues has worked with Environmental Physiology of Tropical and Subtropical Crops, in special papaya, coffee and grapevine plants.
Dr. Shyi-Dong Yeh
National Chung Hsing University
Professor Yeh is a pioneer for the introduction of plant genetic engineering to solve agricultural problems in Taiwan. His outstanding accomplishments on the study of Papaya ringspot virus, including control by cross protection and transgenic approaches, have been featured in five cover articles of Plant Disease and Phytopathology.
Dr. Julián Cuevas González
University of Almería
Dr. Julián Cuevas has published more than 80 articles in Scientific Journals (SCR) (h-index 18); the majority of them on the physiology of flowering and management of fruit crops. He has conducted research on olive, table grape, almond, cherimoya, loquat, mango, papaya and avocado. His research focuses on the study of the mechanisms that regulate the transition to flowering, pollen-pistil interaction and artificial pollination in subtropical and Mediterranean fruit.
Dr. M. G. Lobo
Instituto Canario de Investigaciones Agrarias ICIA
Dr. M. Gloria Lobo is a researcher at the Instituto Canario de Investigaciones Agrarias (ICIA). PhD in Pharmacy at the Complutense University of Madrid, made two postdoctoral stays at the Universities of Wageningen (Holland) and Manoa (Hawaii). Her main research is in Postharvest and Food Technology.
Dr. J. Santamaría
Director de Investigación del CICY
Dr. Jorge Santamaría is the current Chair of the ISHS papaya group. Member of the Mexican
Academy of Science, Member of the Researchers National System, level III and Vice-President
of the Mexican Network of Plant Physiologists. Former Research Director at CICY. He has 138
publications, including 7 Books, 66 research papers, and 34 book chapters. His research field is the Physiological and Molecular aspects of Plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
