About ISPLORE

ISPLORE, formerly known as The International Society For Plant Anaerobiosis (ISPA) was founded in 1985 - however, the first international meeting of scientists involved in plant aeration dates back to 1975.

The objective of the Society is to integrate the activities of the international research community concerned to understand signaling and responses of plants to impeded aeration brought about by a wide variety of means including waterlogging of soil, submergence, within the context of plant development and growth, space flight, storage conditions, and packaging of produce. 

• The organization of a periodic International Conference, ideally every three years

• The organization of sessions devoted to plant aeration and related topics at other major international conferences (e.g. International Botanical Congresses)

• Supporting and encouraging regional meetings and workshops, and publication of papers in refereed journals, books, or other media that are generated by the conferences and meetings it arranges

• Maintaining a website devoted to members and matters relevant to the Society

• Promote the involvement of early-career scientists in the activities of the Society
