MACROPHYTE 2026
The 4th International Symposium of Aquatic Plant Biology (10-14, 08 2026, Dali, China)
Host Organizer: Wuhan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Co-organizer: Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
First Announcement
Dear colleague:
The aquatic vascular plants are a non-natural taxon in the field of taxonomy, representing a group of plants that have adapted to aquatic environments. These plants have undergone an evolutionary transition from terrestrial to aquatic habitats, a process accompanied by significant changes in their ecological conditions. These changes have posed immense challenges to the life history, reproductive strategies, growth and development, physiological and biochemical processes, and ecological adaptation of these aquatic plants. Furthermore, the unique adaptations of aquatic plants to aquatic environments make them a focal point of research across various disciplines and in environmental management efforts.
The planned symposium, MACROPHYTE 2026, originated from a small-scale conference held in 2004. Subsequent editions were held in 2014 in Wuhan, China, and in 2017 in Shiga, Japan. The upcoming MACROPHYTE 2026 aims to serve as a platform for researchers from around the world to share their scientific findings and academic insights on marine and freshwater aquatic plants. The organizers cordially invite you to participate in MACROPHYTE 2026. Provisional topics are listed below, but you are welcome to convene and organize workshops on other topics within the meeting.
Deadline for suggestions of these topics is 01st July 2026 (please e-mail the contact person below: HongSheng Jiang, jhs@wbgcas.cn ).
