[afgn] Register for the 37th New Phytologist Symposium: Plant developmental evolution

[Luise Brand]

15-19 May 2016

*37th New Phytologist Symposium: Plant developmental evolution*

**

*https://newphytologist.org/symposia/37***

Beijing, China

Travel grant submission deadline: Thursday 25th February 2016

Poster abstract submission deadline: Thursday 17th March 2016

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.

Sessions: floral development; vegetative meristems, leaves, and inflorescences; plasticity and life 
history evo-devo; selected poster abstract talks.

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.

Keynote speakers:

Beverley Glover, University of Cambridge, UK; Mark Rausher Duke University, USA; Miltos Tsiantis, 
Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Germany.
