This international symposium is organized by the Saclay Plant Sciences (SPS) network, one of the largest plant sciences communities in Europe. The SPS network brings together about 60 research teams specializing in plant sciences, from 6 institutes in the Paris region, and represents almost 800 people. The research activities of the SPS teams focus on understanding the mechanisms that control plant development and physiology, and their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. The studies carried out are multi-disciplinary and multi-scale. They use concepts and tools from biochemistry, biophysics, imaging, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, genomics, ecology, bioinformatics and modeling, and extend from genes to plants in their natural or agricultural environments.

Chair: Loïc Lepiniec (Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences)
