The Global Plant Council’s web editor is now
subscribed to our blog and web site updates
and will republish, as she did with the announcement
of our conference, any news
of general interest to plant scientists in the
site at http://globalplantcouncil.org/.
The Global Plant Council is an umbrella organization
for scientific societies on research
related to plants.
The European Society of Photobiology
(http://photobiology.eu/) awarded
grants allowing three young researchers to
participate in our conference and training
school. The Society for Experimental Biology
(http://www.sebiology.org/) awarded a
grant to one participant. We thank ESP and
SEB for supporting our meeting.
