To support the varying needs of the diverse ASPB community, members of the plant science community may submit up to two abstract proposals across four abstract categories. All submissions must be made through ASPB’s official Call for Abstracts portal. All abstracts are reviewed by the ASPB Program Committee.
Submission Categories
Poster Abstract
Abstract submission deadline May 29, 2024
All members of the plant science community have the opportunity to present a poster at the Plant Biology conference. All poster presenters must submit an abstract and produce a poster to be displayed at the Plant Biology conference. Abstracts submitted prior to the deadline will be assigned a poster number. Abstracts received after the deadline will not have a poster number, and the poster will be placed in the “breaking science” area of the exhibition hall. Learn more.
Independent Abstract
Early abstract submission deadline for oral presentations January 4, 2024 CLOSED
Any member of the plant biology community is invited to submit an abstract on their topic of expertise. The abstract will be reviewed by the Program Committee and, if selected, placed in a concurrent symposium developed by the Program Committee. January 4 is the deadline to submit an independent abstract to be considered for an oral presentation. Abstracts not selected for a concurrent symposium talk or received after this deadline will be offered an opportunity to present a poster. Learn more.
