Scientific programme
The scientific programme of the FESPB 2008 will cover most aspects of modern plant biology. The aim is to arrange a conference with the highest scientific quality and novelty with wide international representation of experimental plant biology, from molecular biology to ecophysiology.

 

The main topics include:
l Cell biology
l Development
l Ecophysiology
l Metabolism
l Natural variation and adaptation
l Plant biotechnology
l Photosynthesis and respiration
l Stress biology and acclimation
l Signaling and gene expression
l Systems biology and -omics
l Water, minerals, and transport
l Cell walls (jointly with the 8th International Peroxidase Satellite Symposium)
l Physcomitrella (jointly with the Moss 2008 Physcomitrella Satellite Symposium)

 Satellite symposia

Moss 2008, the annual international symposium for moss experimental research, is held this year as a satellite symposium of FESPB 2008 (15-18 August 2008). Topics will cover multiple areas of experimental bryology including genomics, genetics, development, physiology and evolution.

For more information on the satellite symposium please see:

The 8th International Peroxidase Symposium (20–24 August 2008) will concentrate on the structure and biological function of plant, animal and fungal peroxidases.
