The International Symposium "Evolution of Plant Reproduction" organized by @icips.bsky.social will take place in Berlin (Germany) from March 25-28, 2025. To register, go to: dfg-icips.org/berlin2025/

A violet DNA double-stranded helix with yellow and purple bases is cutting the image transversely.
Below the DNA helix, half of the image is filled with big letters of the sequences A-T-C-G in dark and light green and light and dark purple colors
Above the DNA strand, there are 5 drawings of plants: a fern, a moss, a liverwort, a pine cone and a hermaphrodite flower representing the plant evolution
A text is written above and below these drawings:
