The International Association for Plant Biotechnology promotes plant biotechnology, including cell and tissue culture applications, through the convening of international congresses and the publication of the journal In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology-Plant.
Founded in 1963, the IAPB publishes a peer-reviewed journal in the area and organises a quadrennial congress at which the themes, identified as important by the membership, are discussed.
The IAPB is the largest international professional organisation representing the interests of the world-wide plant biotechnology community.
