Plant development is the process by which structures originate and mature as a plant grows. Over the past couple of decades, the plant developmental biology has primarily focused on the nano scale, with the goal of identifying the molecular players underlying the core processes of development. Now the field is moving on to understanding the properties of the dynamic systems driven by these molecular players.
The International Conference on “Plant Development: Systems Approach” will discuss the application of molecular approaches, the role of meristem-derived signals in patterning developing organs, cellular mechanisms of development in flowering plants etc.
