Conference: National Congress of Plant Biology 2026
Organization: Chinese Society for Plant Biology
Date: 6–10 November 2026
Place: Hangzhou, China
With the vigorous development of plant science in China over the past fifteen years, the National Congress of Plant Biology has been continuously strengthened in terms of organizational scale and influence and has become the largest event in the field of plant science in China.
This conference covers topics including plant metabolism and synthesis, cell and development, genetics and genome, light signaling and photosynthesis, evolution and conservation, molecular breeding, plant–microbe interactions, abiotic stress biology, interdisciplinary studies and AI design, and smart agriculture. The conference will also feature a special forum on youth development and journal development, a graduate student forum, and a poster fund. These initiatives aim to foster new academic growth points, promote interdisciplinary integration and industry–academia research collaboration, strengthen the training of young talents, and encourage plant biology researchers to reach new academic heights, thus injecting momentum into the development of plant biology in China and internationally.
The following MDPI journals will be represented:
