Welcome to the PLANTMETALS 2025 international conference!

This conference, organised by the PLANTMETALS society, aims to bring together scientists of all disciplines working on trace metal metabolism in plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
Topics include all essential and non-essential trace metals, work on metalloids is also welcome.
Research  may focus on uptake, translocation, sequestration, metabolic use, deficiency, toxicity, and detoxification of metals in plants as well as interactions of plants with other biota.

The organisers aim at bringing together scientists from all countries and all stages of their career, and therefore registration fees are kept as low as needed purely for the organisation of the event without financial gain.

Please ask info(at)plantmetals.net for any questions you may have.
