International Plant Nuclear Group First Meeting
Oxford Brookes University, 26- 28th June 2013
Conference aim:
To provide a discussion forum for those working on the nuclear envelope and
nucleoskeleton to develop research ideas and collaborations and to promote the
development of the field of plant nuclear envelope biology.
