The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) is a non-profit professional society for research and education in plant science with over 4,000 members world-wide.[5] It was founded in 1924, as the American Society of Plant Physiologists (ASPP).[6] [7] [8] [9] The name was changed to the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) as of 2001.[10] [11] Membership in the society is open to any person from any country who deals with physiology, molecular biology, environmental biology, cell biology and plant biophysics or related issues.[12]

The society publishes the peer-reviewed journals Plant Physiology (1926-)[13] and The Plant Cell (1989-)[14] as well as ASPB News.[15] The American Society of Plant Biologists also has partnered with the Society for Experimental Biology, and Wiley to publish an online-only science journal Plant Direct.[16] In 2000, it published the first edition of the textbook Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants.[17] [18]

The society has given the Charles Reid Barnes Life Membership Award since 1925.[19] It established the Stephen Hales Prize in 1927.[20] As of 2007, the society began to designate Fellows of the ASPB for "long-term contributions to plant biology".[21] ASPB Fellows are distinct from ASPB's "Plantae Fellows", who are selected from a variety of countries and backgrounds for their work as science communicators.[22]

The first President of the Society was Charles Albert Shull (1924-1925), with founder R. B. Harvey as Secretary-Treasurer.[6] Other presidents of the Society include Harry Beevers (1961-1962)[23] [24] and Aubrey Naylor (1960-1961).[25] [26] The first woman to be president of the society was Elisabeth Gantt (1988-1989).[27] [26]
