A vital aspect of the International Society for Seed Science
(ISSS) is the sponsorship and organisation of conferences, workshops, symposia and more specialised meetings
related to seed science.

Other Meetings of Interest to Seed Scientists
4th International Plant Dormancy Symposium.
Fargo, North Dakota USA. June 8-11, 2009.
This symposium is the fourth in a series following those in Oregon USA, 1995; in France, 1999;
and in The Netherlands, 2004. Its goal is to bring together experts and stakeholders in a forum
for exchange of information on dormancy in plants, development of collaborations, and sharing of
ideas on plant dormancy mechanisms in vegetative buds, seeds, and other meristems from a variety
of experimental plant systems ranging from agronomic, horticultural, and tree crops to model plants
and weeds. For detailed information go to http://www.plantdormancy.com.
Sleeping Beauties - Dormancy and resistance in harsh environments - Molecular, proteomic and metabolomic aspects.
Berlin 18-20 May 2008
Dormancy is a strategy used by many organisms to survive adverse conditions. The EU-funded SLEEPING BEAUTY
project aims at identifying the molecular and cellular processes that enable five model organisms to enter
and be revived from dormancy. These studies will reveal the genes, proteins and metabolites that are involved
in the induction, maintenance and revival of dormancy. The results will enhance our knowledge of dormancy so
as to assess the feasibility of inducing cells or organisms into reversible dormant stages and facilitate the
development of novel concepts and methods for cell preservation.
The organizing committee invites all who are interested in dormancy and stress resistance, in the widest sense,
to participate in the workshop: Sleeping Beauties - Dormancy and resistance in harsh environments - Molecular,
proteomic and metabolomic aspects.
