Interdisciplinary Plant Group

The Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) at the University of Missouri held its 35th Annual Symposium from May 30 - June 1, 2018. The theme of this year's meeting was "Advances in Plant Metabolism," a nod to the original theme and goals of the IPG Symposium as established by Doug Randall. As in past years, an outstanding, international group of researchers was brought together to discuss many current aspects of plant metabolism and regulation. The symposium was held in the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, Missouri.
