[Meeting] Plant Apoplastic Diffusion Barriers PADiBa Symposium

In the context of climate changes and growing environmental problems, researches on plant apoplastic diffusion barriers received increasing interest in the last past years. Actually, these barriers are essential for plant development and protecting plants from environmental stress (heat and water stress, resistance to bioagressors, interaction with atmospheric and water pollutants). Consequently, they play a crucial role on crop production and quality as well as on the development of a sustainable, environmentally friendly agriculture. The PADIBA symposia intend to become the leading places to regularly exchange novelties and ideas between scientists of different scientific disciplines working on the structure, biosynthesis, biological and physical properties of the apoplastic diffusion barriers.

After the success story of PADIBA 2013 in Lausanne and PADIBA 2015 in Nantes, PADIBA 2017 will take place at ITQB NOVA, Portugal.
