The 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Plant Herbivore Interactions will be held Feb 21-26 2010 at a new venue in Galveston, TX. Hotel Galvez is located on the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles from Houston.

The 2010 meeting will be the 11th Gordon Research Conference on Plant-Herbivore Interactions. For over 25 years, the GRC series on Plant-Herbivore Interactions has served as a premier forum for scientists investigating the ecology and evolution of plant-herbivore interactions. In addition to being an important venue for sharing late-breaking results, its broad influence makes the conference series an influential determinant of research directions in the field.

The 11th GRC on Plant-Herbivore Interactions will bring together an outstanding group of junior and senior scientists. Sessions will range from genetic and biochemical mechanisms to populations, communities and ecosystems, embrace mechanism and theory, and link chemistry, ecology and evolution. To complement the diverse themes of the session presentations, three poster sessions are scheduled for the evenings and all attendees are encouraged to contribute a poster.

The collegial atmosphere of this Conference and breadth of research areas represented, with programmed morning and evening discussion sessions and informal gatherings in the afternoons, provides an exciting venue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and debate across disciplinary boundaries.
