Plant Physiologist USDA-ARS Raleigh, North Carolina
Workshop Description: If you are interested in linking whole-plant, leaf or root, and molecular scales or in understanding plant environmental responses, welcome home! We will highlight current work of early career researchers and a keynote speaker in the field of plant environmental physiology. We will provide members and interested participants with up-to-date information about recent and upcoming activities planned by the section, and future goals of the section and how this fits into the broader ASPB community. The Environmental and Ecological Plant Physiology (EEPP) section was the first theme-based section within the American Society of Plant Biologists. This section represents anyone interested in the broad category that our name implies. This section exists to provide a place to integrate leaf and plant- level responses to biotic and abiotic stress under field and laboratory conditions, to set molecular physiology in an ecological context, or to provide a basis for scaling root and shoot level responses to canopy, ecosystem and region for crops or natural vegetation. The mission of the section is to advance and promote the science and practice of Environmental and Ecological Plant Physiology. The other goal of our meeting is to provide time for lightning talks from early career researchers who were not selected to speak in a concurrent or plenary session but who represent the diversity of members and research interests in EEPP.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the goals of the Environmental and Ecological Plant Physiology section of ASPB
Engage with the section and the society
Connect with other environmental and ecological plant physiologists
