How to get there

By car: Coming from the B6, take exit „Quedlinburg-Ost"and continue on L66 towards Quedlinburg. After 2km, you get to a roundabout, here follow signs to Gernrode/Ballenstedt (NOT Quedlinburg). At the next roundabout (after 3km), take the 1st exit and continue on L242 towards Quedlinburg. When entering Quedlinburg, leave the roundabout at the 1st exit (sign „Julius Kühn-Institute") and immediately turn right into the JKI premi-ses.

By train: In front of the Quedlinburg railway station, you will � nd several bus stops. Take the bus numbers 10 or 31 and get o� at the stop called „Moorberg" (it is behind a roundabout and there is a petrol station on your right). Cross the road, turn right and you will � nd yourself at the entrance to the Julius Kühn Institute. Or take the bus numbers 32 or 318 and get o� at the stop called „Moorberg". Now you have to cross the roundabout. You can buy tickets on the bus. Journey time is 5 minutes. „Moorberg" is a request stop. So, you have to indicate that you want to get o� at the next stop.If you prefer to walk, it will take you appr. 30 minutes.

By plane: The next airport is Airport Leipzig-Halle. From airport by train via connecting stations Halle/S. and Halberstadt to Quedlinburg railway station. For time table see http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml

We are pleased to invite you to the 6th International Sym-posium “Breeding Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants” (BREEDMAP 6) at Quedlinburg, Germany from June 19 - 23, 2016.This meeting continues a series of international symposia for Breeding Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, which started in 1996. Open to all aspects of basic and applied research in plant breeding, the conferences place emphasis clearly on medicinal and aromatic plants. This BREEDMAP 6 Symposium will be organized by the Julius Kuehn Institute, Federal Centre for Cultivated Plants (JKI) in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) and the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA). Customers all over the world are interested in products based on natural sources. There is a permanent demand for high-quality products. Prerequisite are new varieties and lines of medicinal and aromatic plants with better resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, with adaptation to di� erent conditions in cultivation, and � nally with an increase of active principles. In many cases we do have a breakthrough but for a broad range of medicinal plants much can still be done in order to improve quality and quantity and to get constant high levels of active princip-les. The BREEDMAP 6 Symposium will present the interna-tional platform to share new results and techniques with an international audience to create new ideas and fruitful collaborations in this promising � eld.

The symposium will will focus on the fol-lowing main topics

• Next generation methods and chances for medicinal and aromatic plants

• Cell, tissue and organ culture, cryopreservation, endophytes

• Resistance breeding and new phytopathogens • Improvement of organisms for bioreactors and pho-

to bioreactors • Ex situ and in situ genetic resources – protection and

use by colleting practice – cultivation of new species • Plant breeding and plant analytics • CBD, Nagoya Protocol, EU regulations • Workshop A: Breeding Endophytes, Kayser, O.

(Technical University Dortmund, Germany)• Workshop B: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids – a problem?
