SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

 

This new edition of the SEBP Phytohormone Group’s biannual Symposium will feature an invited lecture by Professor Ari Pekka Mähönen (University of Helsinki, Finland).

Four plenary lectures and 23 oral presentations have been chosen, where we will have the opportunity to appreciate the latest scientific and technological advances from the participating groups on the role of phytohormones during plant development and in response to abiotic and biotic factors.

We would like to thank the SEBP for funding the organization of this symposium, the UMH Doctoral School for sharing its facilities, and the Plants (ISSN 2223-7747) journal for providing prizes for the most outstanding oral presentations and posters.

We would like to thank the Scientific Committee for selecting the oral presentations and for ensuring that the various research topics related to phytohormones were accurately represented.

We hope that this meeting will be a valuable and enjoyable experience for everyone who attends, and that it will have a positive impact on our future research.

Best regards,

The organizing committee.
