Abstract
The international symposium “Auxins and Cytokinins in Plant Development” (ACPD), which is held every 4–5 years in Prague, Czech Republic, is a meeting of scientists interested in the elucidation of the action of two important plant hormones—auxins and cytokinins. It is organized by a group of researchers from the Laboratory of Hormonal Regulations in Plants at the Institute of Experimental Botany, the Czech Academy of Sciences. The symposia already have a long tradition, having started in 1972. Thanks to the central role of auxins and cytokinins in plant development, the ACPD 2018 symposium was again attended by numerous experts who presented their results in the opening, two plenary lectures, and six regular sessions, including two poster sessions. Due to the open character of the research community, which is traditionally very well displayed during the meeting, a lot of unpublished data were presented and discussed. In this report, we summarize the contributions in individual sessions that attracted our attention.

Summary
The international symposium “Auxins and Cytokinins in Plant Development... and Interactions with Other Phytohormones 2018” (ACDP 2018) was held on 1–5 July in Prague, the Czech Republic (https://www.acpd2018.org/). The meeting was attended by 233 participants from 28 countries. This symposium was the ninth in the series of hormone-related symposia organized by the Institute of Experimental Botany, the Czech Academy of Sciences. Beginning in 1999, the symposia were moved to Prague and focused on auxins and cytokinins (named “Auxins and Cytokinins in Plant Development”) as vast progress in the research of these two important classes of hormones had been achieved. Even though the generations of researchers have changed over time, ACPD has still remained a prestigious meeting focused on breakthrough findings in the field. The symposia have provided an opportunity to present the current state of knowledge in hormone research and have enabled lively discussions on new achievements, strengthening existing and establishing new cooperation
