Welcome to the 5^th international conference on
Plant Proteases: from structure to function in mechanisms of life and death.

Plant proteases are involved in nearly every regulatory process and subject of active research in virtually every field in plant biology in organisms ranging from unicellular algae to flowering plants. This meeting will again bring together researchers studying various aspects of this class of enyzmes. After the successful conferences organized in Hemavan, Sweden (2011), Barcelona, Spain (2013); Oxford, UK (2016) and Gent, Belgium (2018), we are delighted to host the 5^th  conference in a green city of Ljubljana, located at the sunny side of the Alps.

This conference aims to present recent advances in diverse aspects of plant proteases including:

• structural properties of plant proteases
• natural substrates and inhibitors of plant proteases as well as their interacting partners
• technological platforms and tools for studying proteases
• phylogeny and evolution of diverse plant protease families

We are looking forward to greeting you in Ljubljana in September 2022!
