Plant biologists have made a great stride in investing the function and cellular structures at physiological, cellular, molecular and genomic levels. Bioinformatics is a fast emerging interdisciplinary area for both academic research and industrial applications and requires the co-operation of specialized personnel from the field of general Biology, Computer science, Statistics etc.

The research in the field of economically important plants especially medicinal plants provide herbal products, cosmetics and neutraceuticals and the microbial community used for biotechnological purposes for human welfare, is the need of the hour. Keeping this in view, the present conference is aimed at gathering scientists from various disciplines for fruitful discussion and recommendation on the research and management of economically important plants and microbes through techniques of bioinformatics and general biology.
