Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Multiscale Vascular Plant Biology provides an opportunity for early-career scientists (e.g., graduate students, postdocs, similar career experience) to share and discuss emerging research and ideas related to vascular plant biology.

The focus of this meeting is to highlight the unique challenges plants face during the Anthropocene. Topics covered by speakers will include how phloem and xylem function responds to environmental stress and how biotic interactions can influence such responses.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Multiscale Plant Vascular Biology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
