Overview
In line with the visit of leading plant virus researchers from Taiwan, a joint international symposium on plant virus diseases will be held to introduce the latest research results on plant virus diseases and its control in Japan and Taiwan. This symposium will be a venue to deepen academic exchanges between the two countries. The symposium will be open to the public and the presentation will be in English.
