First joint meeting of the Belgian Federation for Plant Phisiology and the Section for Plant Physiology, Royal Botanical Society of The Netherlands on 8 may 1987

This special issue of Acta Botanica Neerlandica comprises the abstracts of oral presentations and posters of the first joint meeting of the Belgian and Dutch societies for Plant Physiology. Contacts between the Belgian and Dutch plant physiologists, though close neighbours, have been scarce. It was therefore a good Belgian proposition to have a combined meeting of our Societies.
