Description
This meeting represents one of the largest gatherings of plant biologists in the U.S. The symposia address a wide range of topics in plant evolutionary developmental biology. They were suggested and organized by members of the plant evo-devo community. The MORPH RCN endorsed and advertised the symposia, paid for a subset of speaker registrations, and provided travel grants to fourty-five students attending the symposia.
