As sessile organisms that are unable to escape from inhospitable environments, plants are at the mercy of the elements. Nonetheless, plants have managed to adapt, evolve and survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth. The FEBS Workshop 'Adaptation Potential in Plants', held at the Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology, Vienna, Austria from 19 to 21 March 2009, provided a forum (including 18 invited talks, 8 selected short talks and 69 posters) for about 100 plant biologists from 32 countries, working in the diverse fields of genetics, epigenetics, stress signalling, and growth and development, to come together and discuss adaptation potential in plants at all its levels.
作为无法逃离恶劣环境的固着生物，植物受自然环境的摆布。尽管如此，植物还是成功地在地球上一些最恶劣的条件下适应、进化并生存了下来。2009年3月19日至21日在奥地利维也纳的格雷戈尔·孟德尔分子植物生物学研究所举办的欧洲生物化学学会联合会（FEBS）研讨会“植物的适应潜力”，为来自32个国家的约100名植物生物学家提供了一个论坛（包括18场特邀报告、8场精选短报告和69份海报），这些生物学家在遗传学、表观遗传学、胁迫信号传导以及生长与发育等不同领域工作，齐聚一堂讨论植物在各个层面的适应潜力。
