WELCOME MESSAGE On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure to invite you to participate of the IV International Symposium on Citrus Biotechnology (ISCB) that will be held in Uruguay from April 16th to 18th, 2018. A threedays post Symposium tour to the main Uruguayan Citrus regions will be offered from: April 19th-21th, 2018. This Symposium is organized by International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), International Society of Citriculture (ISC) and National Agricultural Research Institute (INIA) of Uruguay. The ISCB has been organized by the ISHS since 1998. The first ISCB took place in Eilat, Israel by the efforts of PhD. R. Goren, PhD. E. E. Goldschmidt, PhD. M. Davidzon and PhD. Y. Erner. The second International Symposium was held in Catania, Italy in 2009 organized by of PhD. A. Gentile and PhD. E. Tribulato. The third Symposium was held in Shizuoka, Japan in 2014 by of PhD. Shimizu and PhD. Tominaga. The ISCB aims to gather knowledge in a wide range of fields where Biotechnology is applied in order to improve the Citrus Industry worldwide. The applications and approaches based on biotechnology are widely used in all research fields for greatly reducing time span and improving reliability in citrus studies for breeding, genomics and genetics, physiology and fruit quality, pests and diseases management and the advance and application of new emerging technologies. Therefore, we are confident that this ISCB will greatly contribute to strengthen the development of your research as well as the Citrus Industry. We look forward to see you in Uruguay. PhD.

Prof. Fred G. Gmitter, Jr. is a University of Florida (UF) Research Foundation Professor in the Horticultural Sciences Department, located at the UF Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred, Florida. He received BA and MS degrees from Rutgers University and the PhD degree from UF. His research focuses on citrus breeding and cultivar development, with specific emphasis on more fundamental studies of host-pathogen interactions (particularly Huanglongbing tolerance), development and application of genomics-based breeding approaches, and unravelling the complex genetic basis of fruit quality attributes while tying these traits to consumer preferences. He has published well over 150 refereed manuscripts in international scientific journals, including Nature, Nature Biotechnology, Food Chemistry, BMC Plant Biology, Plant Science, among others. He has served as an Associate Editor for three different scientific journals. The Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association recognized him as Researcher of the Year in 2011. He led the International Citrus Genome Consortium, which made the first citrus genome sequences publicly available in 2011. With colleagues at UF, he has released more than 30 new scion and rootstock cultivars in the past 10 years. More than 1.6 million U trees of UF-CREC cultivars have been planted since 2015, many of which demonstrate enhanced levels of HLB-tolerance.
