ISINIP 2016

The organizing committee proudly announces the 18th International Symposium on Iron Nutrition and Interactions in Plants (ISINIP) to be held on the Cantoblanco campus of the University Autónoma of Madrid, Spain. The ISINIP is an international scientific conference where prestigious researchers present the latest knowledge on iron nutrition in plants and is an excellent forum for scientific discussions and the exchange of ideas among young and leading researchers. The main topics are related with: -Iron chemistry and dynamics in soils. -Agronomic practices to correct Fe deficiency, from diagnosis to fertilizers development and genetic approaches. -Physiology of the Fe acquisition, transport and distribution in plants, including microorganism-rhizosphere interactions. -Molecular regulation of Fe homeostasis -Iron and plant metabolism. -Iron interaction with other elements. -Iron fortification of crops for a better human nutrition. The 18th ISINIP will be conducted from May the 30th to June the 3rd. Invited speakers from all the Fe research field will open the different sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to share their research results in oral or poster presentations. We hope that with these activities, the traditional cultural visit and the banquet, this symposium will be a great chance for increasing the knowledge on iron nutrition, allowing research collaborations with new ideas and topics. It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 18th symposium in Madrid, a charming and beautiful city with a 99% probability of perfect spring weather!
