Light is a key resource for plants as it fuels photosynthesis. It also provides essential information about their habitat. Thus, light tracking is of great importance to plants throughout their life cycle. To gain information about their light environment, plants possess light receptors that cover the perception of the complete light spectrum, including light invisible to the human eye (far-red and ultra-violet light). The information sensed by these photoreceptors is utilized for optimal growth during day-night cycles and in sub-optimal light conditions, such as shaded areas and high-light sun flecks. Plant photobiology research focuses on the perception of light by plants, their developmental adaptations to a changing light environment and the mechanistic and genetic basis of these adaptations. The International Symposium on Plant Photobiology (ISPP) is a biannual meeting where the world's leaders, as well as upcoming talents in the field, gather to share their latest results and discuss future directions. The past edition was held between June 3 and 8 of 2019 in the beautiful PRBB research park building on the seafront of the city of Barcelona (Spain). The ISPP2019 was organized by a gender-balanced committee formed by two junior (Lot Gommers and Jordi Moreno-Romero) and two senior researchers (Jamie F. Martínez-Garcia and Elena Monte).

2019年植物光生物学国际研讨会：精彩纷呈的体验

光是植物的关键资源，因为它可以促进光合作用。它还提供有关其栖息地的重要信息。因此，光跟踪对植物的整个生命周期都非常重要。为了获得有关其光环境的信息，植物拥有光感受器，可以感知整个光谱，包括人眼不可见的光（远红光和紫外光）。这些光感受器感应到的信息可用于在昼夜循环和次优光照条件下（例如阴影区域和高光太阳斑点）实现最佳生长。植物光生物学研究侧重于植物对光的感知、它们对不断变化的光环境的发育适应以及这些适应的机制和遗传基础。植物光生物学国际研讨会 (ISPP) 是一年一度的会议，世界领导人以及该领域的未来人才齐聚一堂，分享他们的最新成果并讨论未来的方向。上一届于 2019 年 6 月 3 日至 8 日在巴塞罗那（西班牙）海滨美丽的 PRBB 研究园区大楼举行。ISPP2019 由一个性别平衡委员会组织，该委员会由两名初级（Lot Gommers 和 Jordi Moreno-Romero）和两名高级研究人员（Jamie F. Martínez-Garcia 和 Elena Monte）组成。上一届于 2019 年 6 月 3 日至 8 日在巴塞罗那（西班牙）海滨美丽的 PRBB 研究园区大楼举行。ISPP2019 由一个性别平衡委员会组织，该委员会由两名初级（Lot Gommers 和 Jordi Moreno-Romero）和两名高级研究人员（Jamie F.
