New Zealand Society of Plant Biologists (NZSPB)

And including NZ Postharvest Conference

Tue 6th to Thu 8th July 2021

AgHort Lecture Theatre, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand

This is the fifth biennial meeting of three plant science societies and we are being joined this year by the organisers of Postharvest 2024, with specific postharvest sessions throughout the programme. In the midst of a global pandemic that is preventing international travel we anticipate significant interest in this meeting and advise early registration. Come and celebrate the freedom that we have to congregate in NZ! Members of any of the three participating societies qualify for discounted registration and links are available on the website.

This year sessions will include the following research themes:

  • Gene editing
  • Fruit and vegetables for Health
  • All aspects of postharvest physiology and technology
  • Secondary plant metabolism
  • Tree & Vine Physiology
  • Germplasm conservation

but as always we welcome presentations on any aspect of Plant Biology.

Oral and poster paper acceptance confirmed by 21 May;

Earlybird registration closes by 4 June. Tickets available HERE

In the event of interference from Covid-19 we will deliver a fully or partially online meeting. This requires all presenters to be prepared to submit pre-recorded talks about 10 days before the conference; they will be password protected and made available only to registrants and will be taken down after the meeting. Full details will be advised on the conference website.
