The conference will be recognised in the form of a special issue of Physiologia plantarum on Plant Proteases . The conference participants as well as others are warmly invited to contribute by providing either (mini)reviews or original research articles on protease-related subjects. Color figures for reviews, publication charges for all publications and a copy of the issue for each contributor will be provided by Physiologia plantarum. All manuscripts submitted for the special issue will undergo normal peer-review, and the standards necessary for acceptance will remain high and short conference communication papers will not be considered. For those of you who are not familiar with Physiologia plantarum special issues, please follow http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123322330/issue for the latest special issue and http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118647987/issue for the last special issue on plant protease. Please contact Edouard Pesquet ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you would like to make a contribution.
