2nd International Symposium on Integrative Plant Biology (1st announcement) The biannual International Symposium on Integrative Plant Biology (ISIPB) is a great occasion for members of the international plant science community to meet and discuss the latest advances in plant biology. The aims of the ISIPB are to explore the latest trends and results in plant developmental research, plant molecular evolution, and environmental responses, and recent advances in molecular genetics, genomics, and systems biology tools and techniques. The symposium will be held in Lanzhou, China, 26–28 August 2011, and follows on the extremely successful 1st Integrative Plant Biology Symposium held 2009 in Yantai. With the realization of the 2nd ISIPB, we once again hope to provide a platform for the participants to discuss, study and explore possible future collaborations with like-minded and to communicate and to present their research results with the wider plant science community. Distinguished researchers from all over the world will attend this event. Welcome to ISIPB 2011 in Lanzhou!
