Scope

There have been dramatic developments in our understanding of stomata in recent years. These extend from how their function is controlled and enormous insights into the control of their development, to their evolution and the impact of manipulating stomatal function on plant water-use efficiency. This meeting will provide a forum for stomatal scientists, both established and early career, to hear the latest developments and to discuss and decide on a roadmap for future stomatal research, including research of a fundamental nature and research that will result in short-term societal benefits. Given the context of environment change that affects all parts of the globe, it is essential to place stomatal research in this overarching context.

Format

In addition to themed sessions with invited and selected speakers, there will be two poster sessions and a symposium dinner. There will also be an optional guided tour of Henan University's Minglun campus and the Iron Pagoda Park following the symposium.
