CELEBRATING THE 13TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CYCAD BIOLOGY.

Cycads first appeared approximately 280 million years ago as some of the earliest seed plants. Despite this remarkable persistence, they are now among the planet’s most imperilled organisms. Australia holds the highest diversity of cycad species, so is a fitting context for a conference which will highlight cutting-edge research and critical conservation efforts. Global delegates will comprise academic researchers, environmental and horticultural experts, representatives from leading botanical gardens, and industry leaders. Distinguished speakers will share advancements in plant biology, genetics, conservation, horticulture and restoration.
