The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research, ICAR 2026, 22 - 26 June | National University of Singapore
The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) is the leading annual gathering of the global community of scientists who employ Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system. For nearly four decades, ICAR has showcased the remarkable contributions of Arabidopsis in advancing plant biology, and each year it brings together more than 1,000 scientists from around the world.
The 36th ICAR will take place from 22–26 June 2026 at the National University of Singapore, in the heart of one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. Over five days, participants will enjoy keynote lectures, plenary and concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and abundant opportunities for networking and collaboration.
Join us in Singapore to share discoveries, exchange ideas, and strengthen connections within our vibrant global community of plant scientists!

Evolutionary transcriptomics unveils rapid changes of gene expression patterns in flowering plants
Evolutionary transcriptome analysis of seven angiosperm (flowering plant) species uncovers rapid evolution of gene expression patterns, particularly for genes involved in the responses to endogenous and environmental stimuli. A comparative analysis with available data from mammals confirms different rates of expression divergence in both clades and kingdoms.
