History
In 2011, a group of plant proteomic researchers established the International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) to advance the utilization of this technology in plants as well as to create a way for plant proteomics researchers to interact, collaborate and exchange ideas (see Founding Members). Since 2014, the INPPO is organizing biannual meetings, held in Hamburg (Germany; 2014), Bratislava (Slovakia; 2016), and Padova (Italy; 2018). Next two meetings will be held in Toronto, Canada (2020) and in Thessaloniki, Greece (2022). These congresses mark the essential steps in raising plant proteomes to the same level as those of other systems, including humans and microbes.
