Vorrangiges Ziel der Gesellschaft zur Erforschung der Flora Deutschlands ist die Förderung der floristisch-botanischen Erforschung der Gefäßpflanzen Deutschlands. Ein Schwerpunkt soll auf Taxonomie und Systematik liegen, wobei unter anderem eine Wiederbelebung der hierzulande vernachlässigten Teildisziplinen Karyologie und Autökologie wichtig wäre. Nomenklatorische, chorologische und historische Studien sollen ebenfalls unterstützt werden. Ausdrücklich gefördert werden sollen das wissenschaftliche Herbarisieren und die Auswertung öffentlicher Herbarien, deren Existenzberechtigung mancherorts wegen mangelnder Benutzung in Frage gestellt wird. ...

If agricultural development is to be successful and biodiversity is to be conserved, then accurate knowledge of the identity, geographic distribution and uses of plants is essential. Unfortunately, such basic information is often only partially available for professional stakeholders, teachers, scientists and citizens, and often incomplete for ecosystems that possess the highest plant diversity, i.e. Mediterranean and tropical regions. Pl@ntNet will contribute to filling this void by: (1) Developing cutting-edge transdisciplinary research at the frontier between integrative botany and computational sciences, based on the use of large datasets, knowledge of and expertise in plant morphology, anatomy, agronomy, genetics, taxonomy, ecology, biogeography and practical uses. (2) Providing free, web-based and easy-access software tools and methods for plant identification and the aggregation, management, sharing and utilization of potentially all kinds of plant-related data. (3) Promoting citizen science as a powerful means to enrich databases with new information on plants and to meet the need for capacity building in agronomy, botany and ecology. ...

The Chinese botanical community invites you to Shenzhen, China in July 2017 to participate in the XIX International Botanical Congress. The community grows enormously in the past decades in number of members, capability of creativeness, and importance in international biological sciences. Developing international collaboration is a basic strategy of its members for mutual benefits and discovering integrated solutions for addressing global issues. The Chinese flora, with over 50% endemics, amazing clusters of species in many genera, and archaic species persisting only in China, and vegetation, with a smooth series of transitional zones connecting tropical, subtropical, temperate, and boreal forests, will be very intriguing and exciting for botanical visitors. The Chinese botanical community welcomes scientists and students from around the world to the 2017 IBC for a wonderful congress. ... [Information of the supplier]

UK PlantSci is the online home of the UK Plant Sciences Federation (UKPSF). The UKPSF is a special interest group of the Society of Biology, which aims to bring together the breadth of the UK Plant Science sector to: Increase the understanding of the significance of plant sciences, Formulate a coordinated strategy and vision that will be used to inform policy, Improve the general funding environment, Create an independent and inclusive forum for debate, Provide a focus and contact point for UK plant science and Support efforts to inspire, educate and train the next generation. The UKPSF is made up of a wide range of Member Organisations. If your organisation would like to become a member please contact Mimi Tanimoto the UKPSF Executive Officer. The UKPSF operates with financial support from the Society of Experimental Biology (SEB) and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. UK PlantSci is a central resource for all those involved in Plant Science. We hope it will increase interactions and improve communication across the Plant Science Sector. This is a space for you to collaborate with your colleagues, share best practise and celebrate pioneering innovative breakthroughs. All too often relevant information in your field can be hard to find; well, not anymore. Our vision is that UK Plant Science will help you with your day-to-day efforts and showcase the outstanding work that you do. Everything you need to know about Plant Science can be found here. Whether it’s staying up to date with breaking news or keeping tabs on the latest funding opportunities, make sure you register to take full advantage of all the valuable information that’s available to you absolutely free! If you’ve ever wondered what others in the Plant Science UK are working on or perhaps you’re just keen to find a collaborator near you, then check out ‘Find a Scientist’, a growing directory of UK Plant Science expertise. If you’d like to see yourself listed and showcase your communities research in the directory, then simply register today. There’s always so much going on in the science world.
