The conference "Molecular Biology of Plants #MBP2025" will take place at Sportschule Hennef, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, 10^th until 13^th February 2025. Looking forward to see you in Hennef!

Registration started on 22^nd October and will be open until 15^th November 2024.

The 38^th Conference Molecular Biology of Plants (#MBP2025) of the Section Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology within the German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) is planned to take place in Hennef from 10^th to 13^th February 2025.

A limited number of travel grants for partial cover of expenses are available.

The 37^th Molecular Biology of Plants conference (MBP2024) took place at the Sportschule Hennef (close to Bonn, Germany) from 4^th until 7^th March 2024. Conference chair Ute Höcker (University of Cologne) shares both scientific and non-scientific highlights of this annual meeting. This includes the two keynotes on male-female interactions during endosperm development and how potato plants prevent above-ground tuber formation. She also reports the winners of the awards for best talks, best posters and for science communication, as well as about the career session and the outcome of the traditional soccer game between PIs against PhD students and PostDocs. The new venue, Sportschule Hennef, has once again proven to be a first-rate replacement for our previous long-term venue in Dabringhausen.
