On behalf of the Botanical Society of China and the Shenzhen Municipal Government, we are delighted to invite you to Shenzhen, China, for the XIX International Botanical Congress, to be held 23-29 July 2017.

 

The Congress will bring together practitioners, researchers and educators from around the world who are engaged in plant sciences and their applications. In the tradition of previous IBC meetings, the program for the XIX Congress will include topics not only from various aspects of the plant sciences, including taxonomy and evolution, ecology, genetics and physiology, molecular biology, genomics, agriculture, and the related fields, but also those from research that bridges disciplines and integrates multiple disciplines.

 

We look forward to greeting you at the XIX International Botanical Congress in 2017.
