Organised by the International Society for Seed Science (ISSS),  the “5th Workshop on the Molecular Aspects of Seed Dormancy and Germination” will be held at Simon Fraser University (Harbour Centre) in Vancouver, Canada

Research and education in the scientific understanding of seed biology will be promoted by a host of International speakers that will highlight both applied and fundamental seed research on model and non-model species within the realm of the regulation of seed dormancy and germination, and biological processes that control the viability and vigor of the next generation.  Education and outreach – for youth and the public – comprise the final session.
