MPMI and plant science-related news items from mainstream press.
In celebration of the 2020 International Year of Plant Health, IS-MPMI is hosting a satellite meeting to coincide with the APS annual meeting, Plant Health 2020, August 8–12, 2020. The goal of the satellite meeting is to capitalize on the expertise of the already-gathered IS-MPMI and APS communities to exchange ideas and strategies to bridge the foundational research–translation gap to promote plant health around the world.
The meeting was held in Guangzhou, China on Oct 8–12, 2019 and was attended by more than 380 scientists from China, USA, Canada, Singapore, and Germany. The closing summary speaker was the chair of this meeting, Yi Li, Peking University, China. He encouraged more academic exchanges between China and the worldwide community,
which would greatly promote plant virology and MPMI research. News
The health, safety and well-being of our community is our highest priority. We are closely monitoring the evolving, international advisories and will provide regular updates on all upcoming meeting and events. While there are no federal restrictions in place to prevent meetings or travel within the United States or Canada as of March 12, we recommend that you abstain from booking non-refundable travel to any scheduled IS-MPMI events at this time. Please refer to the CDC and World Health Organization websites for the most up-to-date information on COVID-19.
