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。会议为玉米遗传学社区的成员提供了展示和讨论他们最新研究成果的机会。广泛的主题涵盖，从古典到分子遗传学。第41届年会将由4位受邀演讲者进行45分钟的演讲，15分钟的个人演讲，两次海报会议和两次研讨会。受邀演讲嘉宾有：Susan Wessler，佐治亚大学；亚利桑那大学的理查德·乔根森；爱荷华州立大学Patrick Schnable；以及康奈尔大学的Susan McCouch。讲习班将集中讨论两个及时的主题：玉米和谷物研究的基因组方法以及技术转让和许可。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，这将在他们的职业生涯中证明是无价的。

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.
