4th International Symposium on Plant Dormancy

On behalf of the Organizing Committees, I am delighted to extend an invitation to participate in the 4th International Plant Dormancy Symposium. The symposium will be held June 8 -11, 2009 at the Holiday Inn in Fargo, North Dakota USA.

This symposium is the fourth in a series following those in Oregon USA, 1995; in France, 1999; and in The Netherlands, 2004. Its goal is to bring together experts and stakeholders in a forum for exchange of information on dormancy in plants, development of collaborations, and sharing of ideas on plant dormancy mechanisms and manipulations from a variety of experimental plant systems ranging from agronomic, horticultural, and tree crops to model plants and weeds.
