I am truly honored to have been selected as a Distinguished Speaker at the World Congress on Advances in Plant Science and Plant Biology (Adv. PSPB 2025)! My heartfelt gratitude to the organizers for this incredible opportunity. Coming from a different research domain, this forum was an eye-opening experience for me. While my work at ICMR has involved phytochemicals and drug design, the sheer depth and breadth of research in plant science that I encountered over these two days was nothing short of awe-inspiring. From groundbreaking discoveries to revolutionary innovations, every session unfolded a new realm of scientific possibilities. This congress was not just a platform for knowledge-sharing, but a true testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration—bridging the worlds of microbiology, medicine, and plant sciences. I leave this forum with newfound insights, collaborations, and a deep appreciation for the limitless potential that lies in this field. Once again, my sincere thanks to the organizers and fellow researchers for an enriching and inspiring experience!
