WELCOME
Dear Delegates,
It is my pleasure to welcome you, the delegates for the Seed Ecology
IV, the Fourth International Society for Seed Science Meeting on
Seeds and the Environments, to Shenyang, China.
The theme of this conference is Seeds and Future. We cherish the
seed of plant, as well as the seed of seed science (especially that of
seed ecology), and the seed of the International Conference on Seed
Ecology. We believe that, there are seeds, there is a bright future. We
get together here to demonstrate our newest discoveries in seed
ecology, and with a good wish for a green, harmonious and friendly
world.
There are 164 delegates from 24 countries and regions, including
senior seed ecologists and students. We really appreciate your
contributions and participation.
I hope that you will enjoy your stay here and will return with a good
memory of the people, the landscape, the flora and the culture.
