🌍 This international conference will center on photosynthesis, while exploring a wide range of cutting-edge research topics.
Day 2 The conference will focus on photosynthesis as its central theme, exploring a wide range of cutting-edge topics related to this fundamental process. Discussions will span diverse aspects of photosynthesis, including: Carbon assimilation and metabolism Coordination of photosynthesis with nutrition Ecophysiology and biodiversity of photosynthesis Gene expression and plastids Light acclimation, light harvesting, and photoprotection Metals in natural and artificial photosynthesis Photosynthetic genes and genomes and evolution of photosynthesis Regulation of photosynthetic electron transport and alternative pathways Keynote Speaker Andrew Leakey (IU, USA) Invited Speakers Cécile Bernard (MNHN, France) Pablo Calzadilla (I2BC, France) José L. Crespo (CSIC, Spain) Peter Geigenberger (LMU, Germany) Philipp Gotico (I2BC, France) Guy Hanke (QMUL, UK) Marianne Jaubert (IBPC, France) Tatjana Kleine (LMU, Germany) Genji Kurisu (OU, Japan) Julia Legen (HU, Germany) Hatem Rouached (MSU, USA) Michael Schroda (RPTU, Germany) Åsa Strand (UMU, Sweden) Guillaume Tcherkez (IRHS, France) Emilie Wientjes (WUR, NL) Day 3 The conference will focus on photosynthesis as its central theme, exploring a wide range of cutting-edge topics related to this fundamental process.

Thanks to Xavier Bailly from Station Biologique de Roscoff for a fascinating talk on the Roscoff worm! 🌱 This intertidal flatworm is bright green due to the algal symbionts it relies on for carbon fixation. www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-...
