IJPB Symposium 2026 - Chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field
23-25 September 2026 - IJPB, INRAE Ile-de-France - Versailles-Saclay
The IJPB is organising the 3rd edition of its international symposium. Following the editions in 2018 and 2024, this event will take place in Versailles from 23 to 25 September 2026. Save the date!
The IJPB Symposium 2026 is dedicated to "Chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field", a booming research field in which IJPB develops integrative approaches bridging plant metabolism and its effect on biotic/abiotic interactions and vice versa.
The symposium will comprise an opening lecture and four thematic sessions, each involving an international and an IJPB keynote speaker, as well as presentations from participants selected from submitted abstracts. The themes of each session are as follows:
1 - Identification/analysis of chemical signals involved in plant response to their environment
2 - Molecular and cellular mechanisms of chemical responses to biotic and abiotic stress: Perception and transduction of chemical signals
3 - Integration of chemical interactions in ecological communities and agroecosystems
4 - Agroecological innovations derived from the study of how plants interact with their environment
This exciting meeting aims to foster collaborations and facilitate knowledge exchange among participants by bringing together renowned specialists in the field and a high level of interdisciplinary.
The symposium will also feature a workshop on plant specialized metabolite analysis, conducted in collaboration with the Chemistry/Metabolism platform PO-Chem, and a tour of the Plant Facilities PO-Plants and the Phenoscope PO-Pheno, all three of which are part of the Plant Observatory (PO) of the IJPB.
Ahead of the symposium, the ENVIE Network will hold its 5th plenary edition in Versailles from 21 to 23 September 2026, organised as part of a MULTISTRESS satellite workshop.
We look forward to meeting you in Versailles! Further information will be available by November 2025.
In connection with the research developed at the Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences.
