The conference aims to bring together scientists in plant developmental biology, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, ecophysiology and biotechnology, with a common interest in root development. It focuses on the development of adventitious, lateral and primary roots as the outcome of genetic control and the plant's interaction with the environment. Based on the tradition of the earlier symposia held in the US, Israel, The Netherlands, Spain, Canada and Germany, the 8th International Symposium on Root Development aims to exchange recent knowledge and ideas on fundamental and applied aspects of root induction and further development. ...

The Swedish Species Information Centre works with knowledge about biodiversity in Sweden. The main tasks are to collect, evaluate and store the most important information about threatened and rare plant and animal species. A basic part in this work is to assess degrees and types of threat and to prepare the national so called Red Lists and Red Data Books. Much the work is focused on information through publications, conferences etc. The unit also suggests management plans and initiate research. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre is a national source of information on biodiversity. The organisations main function is to supply the public with updated and accessible information on Norwegian species and ecosystems. Approximately 40 000 species of animals, plants and other organisms are known to be present in Norway. However, the total number probably exceeds 60 000, and the survival of each and every one depends on the existence of specific habitats and ecosystems. The decision to establish the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre (NBIC) was approved in a parliamentary resolution by the Norwegian national assembly in 2003. NBIC became operational in January 2005. As a national source of information the goal of NBIC is to make currently available information on biodiversity accessible to everyone who has access to the Internet. The information will be found at our web site (www.biodiversity.no). NBIC is also making an effort to increase the focus on biodiversity and raise public awareness about it. The objective is to provide the public debate with up-to-date, correct information. This will help to make the issue of biodiversity an important factor in decision-making processes. Putting biodiversity on the agenda implies that we must place emphasis on active, high-quality communication with governmental institutions, media and society as a whole. ...

The bryophyte herbarium at the Botanical Museum, the University of Oslo, Norway, comprises a Norwegian herbarium (ca. 150,000 specimens, of which ca. 100,000 mosses, ca. 15,000 peat mosses and ca. 35,000 hepatics), a general herbarium (ca. 75,000), a type herbarium with ca. 100 types and a collection of older exsiccata (ca. 5,000 specimens). Buildup of a herbarium database was started in 1997, and is still at an early stage with ca. 3.200 specimens recorded by January 2001. As part of this work, a register of accepted names for Norwegian bryophytes has been made (1066 species in 260 genera; of which 747 species of mosses, 47 peat mosses, 270 hepatics and 2 hornworts), with all known synonyms used on specimens in the Norwegian herbarium (almost 9000 names together). Norwegian names for mosses (about 1100 names) are now also included in the register. We take part in updating a checklist of Norwegian bryophytes (most recent edition: Frisvoll, A.A., Elvebakk, A., Flatberg, K.I. & Økland, R.H. 1995. Sjekkliste over norske moser. - Norsk Institutt for Naturforskning (NINA) Temahefte 4: 1-104.) ... [Information of the supplier]
This checklist comprises the vascular plants of Northern Europe (including Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Faeroe Islands and Denmark, but excluding Greenland), with the flora of Sweden being covered more completely than the floras of the other territories. For each taxon, the scientific and Swedish names as well as its floristic status are given; in addition to indigenous plants, archaeophytes and neophytes are included as well, with many casually occurring taxa. An earlier version of the list comprising more than 8,000 taxa has been published as a journal contribution in 1998 (Karlsson, T.: Förteckning över svenska kärlväxter. [The vascular plants of Sweden - a checklist. In Swedish, with English abstract.] In: Svensk Botanisk Tidskrift 91: 241-560). ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
