We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Plant Cell and Development Biology which will be held in Gyeongju, South Korea, close to Busan. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Sunday November 3, and will conclude after lunch on Thursday November 7, 2019.
The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in Plant Biology. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.
Conference Venue & Accommodation
Cold Spring Harbor Asia conferences in South Korea are arranged in Hwabaek International Convention Center (HICO) http://www.crowncity.kr/cvb/en/intro/reasonstomeet.do, which is an exhibition and convention center located in Bomun Tourist Complex in Gyeongju. HICO today offers a modern and sophisticated system of exhibitions and conventions befitting contemporary needs.
Major Topics:
1. Organellar biology
2. Cellular signaling in embryogenesis
3. Cellular signaling in meristems
4. Cellular signaling in vasculature development
5. Cellular signaling in postembryonic tissue development
6. Photoreceptor and temperature sensing
7. New biotechnologies for crop improvement.

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials. The abstracts must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers. Status (fellow's talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
Fellowship:
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. A certain number of presentations by graduate students and postdocs in this conference will be selected as fellowship (USD $100-$500) awards. For more details, please visit Stipends
