On behalf of the Plant Mitochondrial Biology Group and the Local Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 10th International Conference for Plant Mitochondrial Biology 2017 (ICPMB 2017) to be held in Hangzhou, one of the most beautiful cities in China and the capital city of Zhejiang Province. Hangzhou, a city neighboring Shanghai, is located in the Yangzi River Delta, and is quite vibrant and dynamic in economy and innovation, with the Headquarters of the world’s largest e-commerce company ‘Alibaba Group’. Hangzhou, site of the 2016 G20 Summit, is also a world famous tourist destination for its historical relics of the Song Dynasty and natural beauty of the West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the longest artificial river in the world.

The ICPMB is an important meeting with strong tradition that brings together scientists from across the world working in plant mitochondria and its relevant fields. It will serve as an excellent academic platform for scientists sharing their ideas and latest research progress. We are delighted to host the ICPMB for the first time in China, and endeavor to make the conference a great success with your participation.
