9602886 Kron The abundance of morphological and molecular evidence to date consistently indicates that a new classification of the Ericaceae - an ecologically and horticulturally important group which includes, for example, azaleas, blueberries, and cranberries - is needed. This workshop, organized by Professor Kathleen A. Kron of the Department of Biology, Wake Forest University, and Dr. Paul A. Gadek of the Department of Botany and Tropical Agriculture, James Cook University of North Queensland, Australia, will provide a forum for the development of a new and modern(cladistic) classification based on all of the newly available evidence developed in the United States and in Australia. Classification of this nearly cosmopolitan group of plants is important because it provides a reference point for many areas of research such as the study of molecular evolution and the investigation of mycorrhizal associations in Epacridaceae and Ericaceae. The workshop will provide opportunities for Australian, US, and Swedish researchers to exchange information and develop new collaborative projects. In particular, collaborations on evolutionary and biogeographical questions within the southern hemisphere and Asian taxa will be pursued.

小行星9602886 丰富的形态学和分子生物学的证据，迄今一致表明，一个新的分类杜鹃花科-一个生态和园艺的重要群体，其中包括，例如，杜鹃花，蓝莓，蔓越橘-是必要的。 这次研讨会，由凯瑟琳教授A。维克森林大学生物系的Kron和Paul A.澳大利亚北昆士兰州詹姆斯库克大学植物学和热带农业系的Gadek将提供一个论坛，根据美国和澳大利亚所有新获得的证据，发展一个新的现代（分支）分类。 这一几乎世界性的植物群的分类是重要的，因为它提供了一个参考点，许多领域的研究，如分子进化的研究和菌根协会在Epacridaceae和Ericaceae调查。研讨会将为澳大利亚、美国和瑞典的研究人员提供交流信息和开发新的合作项目的机会。 特别是，将在南半球和亚洲分类群的进化和生物地理问题上进行合作。
