The symposium will revolve around the idea of the critical role of plant physiology for interdisciplinary collaborative research. We will encourage team presentations on topics: Physiology and molecular biology: critical role of physiology for gene function; Physiology and breeding: critical role of physiological screening for abiotic stress; Physiology and pathology: critical role of physiology for biotic stress responses; Physiology and agronomy: critical role of physiology for understanding mechanisms of yield formation; Physiology and remote sensing: critical importance of groundtruthing using physiology to the success of remote sensing; Physiology and modeling: critical understanding of physiological function for model improvement and validation.
