The Biology of Transpiration
Category(-ies): Conferences
This year's specialty meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists, The Biology of Transpiration: From Guard Cells to Globe will be held at Snowbird Mountain Resort, Utah on October 10-14, 2006. In the past five years, there have been rapid advances at several organizational levels in the understanding and measurement of the biology of transpiration. These areas have developed separately, yet each has major implications for the others. To catalyze needed interactions among scientists working in diverse areas, all aspects of water transport will be covered at levels spanning from gene expression to global modeling. The meeting will be limited to approximately 200 participants. For further information visit ASPB meeting announcement.
