We are delighted to host the 28^th International Congress on Sexual Plant Reproduction (28^th ICSPR) for the International Association for Sexual Plant Reproduction Research (IASPRR). The 28th ICSPR will be held in Chengdu, China in September 5-8, 2026.

Chengdu, hailed as the "Land of Abundance", is a captivating metropolis where 2300-year-old cultural heritage harmonizes with cutting-edge modernity. Nestled in the fertile Chengdu Plain, this UNESCO City of Gastronomy enchants visitors with mist-shrouded mountains framing skyscrapers, where pandas munch bamboo beneath snow-capped peaks are visible from downtown. Holding 28^th ICSPR in Chengdu will provide an excellent opportunity to combine cutting-edge science with a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

We warmly invite you to attend this exciting conference and look forward to welcoming many of you in Chengdu!
