FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012
How will plant biodiversity deal increasing CO2? How can plants help us to deal with global problems such as energy production and malnutrition? During the FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012 in Freiburg these questions and more were tackled. This a collection of some of the tweets #PBCFreiburg2012.
Looking forward to the Opening of FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012 #PCBFreiburg2012 Incl. @ReskiLab http://pic.twitter.com/IwE6mVmM
