About us

Welcome to the website of the International Association of Sexual Plant Reproduction Research (IASPRR). Our purpose is to stimulate scientific research in the field of plant reproduction and related subjects, to develop experimental tools and to promote the application of the results of such research in agriculture and forestry.

• Mission: The Association promotes contact between scientists undertaking research in plant reproduction and related subjects through the initiation of conferences and congresses, workshops, databases, and by the exchange of information concerning the entire range of activities in the field of plant reproduction research. It´s a non-profit association. The society maintains a public website on a voluntary basis, publishes scientific articles in the journal Plant Reproduction and informs its members about scientific activities and advances via the Plant Reproduction Newsletter.

• Foundation: The IASPRR was founded on 6 July 1990 in St. Petersburg during the XI Congress on Sexual Plant Reproduction. Since then, its members have organized 16 IASPRR conferences and numerous smaller workshops. To know a bit more about the history of this scientific association, please read this article.
