About the conference

IWPMB is the premier international conference for anybody interested in processes related to plant membranes. Over the last 45 years, it has provided a healthy forum for scientific discussion, and exchange of ideas, for leaders in the field through to new postgraduate students. Whilst presenting their own latest findings, our plenary speakers will also provide a brief overview of recent advances in their field of research.

If you have previously been to an IWPMB, you will be familiar both with the workshop sessions which highlight technical advances and with some of themes of the conference sessions. This year, however, and in partnership with the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, we have taken the opportunity to add a new day at no extra cost to delegates attending the remainder of the conference. During this day we will highlight the very real applied outcomes made possible by recent fundamental advances in nutrient-use-efficiency (NUE). The NUE day will be available to those day registrants who are not attending the rest of the conference.

We are also pleased to announce that we are an official satellite meeting of OZBIO2010 which is to be held in Melbourne the following week. In addition, organisers of IWPMB2010 will be chairing symposia within the plant section on "Molecules of life:from discovery to biotechnology" within the areas of plant membrane biology and abiotic stress, drought and salinity at OZBIO2010. Please contact iwpmb2010@adelaide.edu.au if you are also interested in attending and presenting your work as part of this session.

Registration is now open!
