Scientific Organisers: Tijs Ketelaar and Anne Mie Emons

botanicals 1The latest in a long running series of RMS sponsored meetings dating back to the 1960s & the heyday of electron microscopy. Recently the meetings have been re-branded to encompass all aspects of bioimaging relating to modern plant cell biology.

As at previous meetings, the programme was constructed from key note talks by top class plant scientists and selected talks from submitted abstracts. Botanicals 2

Registration costs for research students were made as attractive as possible to give new researchers the opportunity to present their data at the Meeting.
