polyamine Welcome

Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 4th Plant Polyamine Research workshop that will be held from 29 Oct to 30 Oct 2024 in Szeged (Hungary) and online.
The main aims of our international meeting are to establish a strong community of researchers working in plant polyamine field, and highlight the latest results in this topic. Following three successful meetings in the last three years, we would like to continue our started discussion, making valuable cooperation with different institutes and universities and bring together all researchers in plant polyamine research field. This current meeting focuses on the potential role of polyamines in sustainable agriculture highlighting the value of these multifaceted plant bioregulator compounds.
We hope that welcoming you in Szeged and online will be inspired by enthusiastic participation in our enjoyable programme.
Your organizers,
Tibor Janda and Ágnes Szepesi

We are pleased to announce that we have not stopped and have organised the third online webinar in the 2024 years series!

This year we are inviting renowned speakers from abroad to present new findings and trends in their fields. The aim of the FESPB/HUSPB WEBINAR 2024 is to prepare the Plant Biology Europe 2025 congress, which will be hosted by the Hungarian Society of Plant Biology in Budapest.

The third presentation was given in October 2024 by Prof. Marcel A.K. Jansen (University College Cork, Ireland) on 'Duckweed (Lemnaceae) species; from physiological model to hero of the circular economy'.

You can watch and/or re-watch it on the YouTube channel of the Hungarian Society of Plant Biology:



Host: Dr Gyula Czégény

In the summer of 2024 we organised the 14th Hungarian Congress of Plant Biology in Szeged. The programme started on 28 August with the Scientia Amabilis Foundation Award Ceremony. This time the Gábor Farkas Memorial Medal was awarded to Dr Balázs Barna, full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Dr Gábor Galiba, Doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Dr Balázs Barna presented his work in a lecture. Our other invited speaker, Dr László Fodorpataki (Sapientia EMTE) gave his presentation on the second day of the conference.
During the three days of the congress, we were able to listen to 44 presentations covering many areas of experimental plant biology in eight sections. In the poster session, 46 posters were presented and we enjoyed a wine tasting on the first evening. As part of the social programme, some of the participants visited the ELI-ALPS Laser Research Centre, while others visited the New Synagogue in Szeged. The evening ended with a gala dinner combined with folk music and dance at the Szeged Jobb Mint Otthon Kisvendéglő. On the last day of the conference, the Élet a Fényből Foundation organised a photosynthesis session.

This year, for the first time, we awarded the best performers under the age of 35. Major Gyöngyi (PTE) and Nia Petrova (HUN-REN SZBK) each received a scholarship of HUF 100,000. The prize for the best poster went to Tóth-Nyári Zalán (HUN-REN SZBK).

We believe that the conference provided the framework for a high quality scientific forum, and we trust that after the meaningful summer end programme in Szeged, the participants returned home with unforgettable experiences that will last until the next Hungarian Plant Biology Congress in 2027!
