ASPB president, Steve Huber, and executive director, Crispin Taylor, were featured in the May issue of International Innovation, a science and technology magazine based in Europe. The article focuses on ASPB as an organization, highlighting its roles as a publisher of two leading plant biology journals, Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell, the textbook, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plants, and the online resource, The Arabidopsis Book; an educator, providing resources such as Teaching Tools in Plant Biology and educational outreach to teachers and students from kindergarten to graduate school; and in enabling relationships among plant biologists worldwide through the ASPB annual meeting.

The article also emphasized ASPB’s evolution in supporting an ever changing field of plant biology, where new subdisciplines continue to emerge and the borders of traditional subdisciplines have begun to blur. It also stresses the importance of ASPB’s public affairs initiatives in keeping "Congress and the Executive Branch informed about the benefits of investments in fundamental plant science research.”
