41st Maize Genetics Meeting to be held on March 11-14, 1999 at the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

第41届玉米遗传学会议将于1999年3月11日至14日举行。这次会议为玉米遗传学社区的成员提供了介绍和讨论他们最新研究成果的机会。课程涵盖了从经典遗传学到分子遗传学的广泛主题。第四十一届年会将包括四位特邀讲者的45分钟演讲，个人与会者15分钟的演讲，两个海报会议和两个工作坊。被邀请的演讲者将是：乔治亚大学的Susan Wessler、亚利桑那大学的Richard Jorgensen、爱荷华州立大学的Patrick Schnable和康奈尔大学的Susan McCouch。研讨会将聚焦于两个适时的主题：玉米和谷物研究的基因组方法以及技术转移和许可。玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个与该领域的科学家见面和互动的绝佳机会，以演讲或海报的形式讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这些网络将在他们的职业生涯中被证明是非常宝贵的。

The 41st Maize Genetics meeting will be held March 11-14, 1999. The meeting offers members of the Maize Genetics community the opportunity to present and discuss their most recent research results. A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from classical to molecular genetics. The 41st Annual meeting will feature 45 minute talks by four invited speakers, 15 minute talks given by individual participants, two poster sessions, and two workshops. The invited speakers will be: Susan Wessler, University of Georgia; Richard Jorgensen, University of Arizona; Patrick Schnable, Iowa State University; and Susan McCouch, Cornell University. The workshops will focus on two timely subjects: Genomic Approaches for Maize and Cereal Research and Technology Transfer and Licensing.The Maize Genetics meeting provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers.
