We warmly invite you to a theme day dedicated to exploring the molecular and cellular foundations of plant development. The program will highlight how genetic information, meristematic activity, and environmental cues coordinate the formation of tissues and organs from the zygote through embryonic and post-embryonic stages. Join us for an engaging day of discussions on the dynamic processes that shape plant form and function.

Would you like to present your work?

PhD students and postdoctoral researchers are especially encouraged to contribute. Are you interested in giving a presentation? Please contact the theme day coordinators Kaisa Kajala (UU) and/or Viola Willemsen (WUR) before 15 October 2025.
