Message from the chair:
I would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in this exciting symposium and contributed to making it a great success. Much positive feedback was received and everyone who participated appeared to have a great time and enjoy the stimulating scientific discussions.
This international symposium featured scientists from Australia and Japan, and showcased exciting plant basic research with future potential to benefit worldwide agriculture. Active discussions throughout the symposium also contributed to improving internationality in the plant sciences and enhanced the scientific interaction between Australia and Japan.
Photos from the symposium have now been uploaded, so please take a look at the photo page.
We look forward to building upon the new scientific relationships and also an opportunity to organise a similar international symposium sometime in the future!
