ISRR11 will bring together the global root research community to foster exchange and discuss new discoveries, developments, and challenges in root biology. The symposium will address root research across different scales from the molecular- to the ecosystem-level in agricultural and natural systems.

The organizing committees of ISRR11 and ROOTING2021 - 9th International Symposium on Root Development have decided to hold the two meetings as a joint, virtual-only conference and sessions will be shared. A major aim of the meetings is to provide as much live interaction as feasible. To achieve this, the different time zones of participants will be considered as much as possible when developing the final schedule.

Details regarding the meeting can be found at the joint meeting website.
