The Society of Plant Neurobiology (SPNB) invites you to join as one of its founding members. Membership will support research directed toward understanding signaling and communication at all levels of plant organization, from single molecules to ecological communities.

Annual dues: $60 Full Member; $30 Student Member

Members will receive free on-line subscriptions to Plant Signaling and Behavior (published by Landes Bioscience). Funds from membership dues will be used to support PNB symposia and provide travel fellowships for students and postdocs.

The goal of plant neurobiology is to illuminate the structure of the information network that exists within plants 1. Plants are dynamic and highly sensitive organisms that actively and competitively forage for limited resources both above and below ground. Plants accurately compute inputs from the environment, use sophisticated cost-benefit analysis, and take action to mitigate diverse environmental insults. Plants are also capable of refined recognition of self and non-self, and are territorial in behavior. This plant neurobiological view sees plants as information processing organisms with complex, long-distance communication systems within the plant body and extending into the surrounding ecosystem.
