<p class="MsoNormal">The relatively new field of plant
evolutionary-developmental biology ('evo-devo') seeks to
understand how and why plant morphological characters have
evolved to produce the tremendous diversity of form in living
plants. This meeting will draw together researchers in plant
evo-devo for exchange of ideas, current research, and
discussion of future directions for the field.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sessions: floral development; vegetative
meristems, leaves, and inflorescences; plasticity and life
history evo-devo; selected poster abstract talks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eighteen leading scientists will speak at
the Symposium. We hope that this will stimulate focused
discussion and the exchange of ideas at what will be a
relatively small (around 120 delegates) and informal meeting.
There will be a poster session, selected talks, discussion and
a conference dinner.<o:p></o:p></p>
