17th Phytohormones Symposium: Metabolism and mode of action

We are pleased to announce the 17th Phytohormones Symposium: Metabolism and mode of action, organized by the Phytohormones Group of the Spanish Society of Plant Biology (SEBP, https://www.sebp.es/grupos-de-la-sebp/fitohormonas/).

The symposium will take place at the Edificio Valona located in the campus of Elche of the Universidad Miguel Hernández (UMH), Spain, on February 2-3, 2026.
An invited lecture, four plenary lectures and 23 oral presentations have been scheduled, where we will have the opportunity to appreciate the latest scientific and technological advances from the participating groups on the role of phytohormones during plant development and in response to abiotic and biotic factors.

We would like to thank the SEBP for funding this symposium, which will enable us to award 12 fellowships to early-career researchers (PhD students and first-year postdocs) who are members of the SEBP. These fellowships will cover the cost of registration. Please send your application to jmperez@umh.es.

We hope that this meeting will be a valuable and enjoyable experience for everyone who attends, and that it will have a positive impact on our future research.

We look forward to seeing you all in Elche!
