"Plant-Structure-Optimization"

We are pleased to inform the International Symposium on "Plant-Structure-Optimization" will be held during Nov 19-20 (2022) in Nara, Japan.

This symposium aims to share the results of our 5-year project (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "Plant-Structure Optimization" FY2018-2022) and NAIST-UBC International collaborative lab (established in 2017) with the international scientific community and discuss further directions. For this purpose, we will invite leading researchers from abroad in this symposium, and the project members will give oral and poster presentations. In addition, the oral presentations will be open to general audience, and streamed online.

Our project has been generating an new research area that covers plant cell walls, plant biomechanics, plant physiology, and plant environmental response, by integrating plant biology, instrumentation engineering, polymer chemistry, and materials engineering.
Please join us for this symposium and learn more about the latest "Plant-Structure Optimization" research!
