The plant biology meeting Plant Abiotic Stress - from signaling to development was organised by the European Union COST Action FA605 - International Network of Plant Abiotic stress (INPAS).

The goal of INPAS was to build an international network of plant abiotic stress. The research priorities of the action are centred on complementary expertise allocated into four working groups:

• Functional characterization of protein kinases
• Genetic identification of signaling factors
• Expression of genes involved in the production of osmo-protectants
