What is the ISRR?

Peter Gregory presenting M. McCully with the lifetime award at ISRR9

The Society’s aim is to promote cooperation and communication between root researchers around the world. Hopefully you will join us in this endeavour.
The main activity of the International Society of Root Research is to hold regular scientific meetings at which the latest root research can be presented. Our last meetings in Scotland and Australia each attracted over 300 participants. Our next meeting in Israel in 2018 is awaiting your registration.
In 2015 we initiated a Lifetime Award prize that was presented to Professor Margaret McCully for her significant contribution to root research.
