The 11th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research will be held in Madison, Wisconsin June 24 through June 28, 2000. Arabidopsis thaliana has been the subject of genetic study for many years. However, during the last decade, the number of research laboratories using Arabidopsis as a model system has increased tremendously, and Arabidopsis is currently being used to study all aspects of plant biology. The rapid rate of progress in Arabidopsis research, including the near completion of the genomic sequence, underscores the usefulness of holding a meeting every year. These conferences provide an important opportunity for the Arabidopsis community to interact and exchange information. The meeting will provide opportunities for both formal and informal exchanges of recent information through platform and poster presentations. The meeting will open with an evening keynote address on the global impact of plant biology to be delivered by Richard Jefferson, the Executive Director of CAMBIA (Center for the Application of Molecular Biology to International Agriculture). This will be followed by short updates from each of the NSF-funded Plant Genome groups. Many of these groups are carrying out projects that impact the Arabidopsis community. Each of the 17 platform sessions will consist of talks from two invited speakers followed by two short talks that have been chosen from the submitted poster abstracts. A concerted effort has been made to invite junior investigators, including graduate students and postdocs, to give these talks. Posters will be available for viewing during three formal sessions, and because the poster session will be adjacent to the lecture hall, it will be easy for participants to go back and forth between posters and lectures.

第11届拟南芥研究国际会议将于2000年6月24日至28日在威斯康星州的麦迪逊举行。 拟南芥一直是遗传学研究的主题多年。 然而，在过去的十年中，使用拟南芥作为模型系统的研究实验室的数量急剧增加，拟南芥目前被用于研究植物生物学的各个方面。 拟南芥研究的快速进展，包括基因组序列的接近完成，强调了每年举行一次会议的有用性。 这些会议提供了一个重要的机会，拟南芥社区互动和交流信息。 会议将提供机会，通过平台和海报展示，正式和非正式地交流最新信息。 会议将以关于植物生物学的全球影响的晚间主题演讲开始，由CAMBIA（国际农业分子生物学应用中心）执行主任Richard Jefferson发表。 随后将由NSF资助的每个植物基因组组的简短更新。 这些团体中的许多人正在进行影响拟南芥群落的项目。 17场平台会议中的每一场都将包括两名特邀演讲者的演讲，然后是从提交的海报摘要中选出的两个简短演讲。 已经做出了协调一致的努力，邀请初级研究人员，包括研究生和博士后，给这些讲座。 海报将在三个正式会议期间提供，因为海报会议将毗邻演讲厅，这将是很容易的参与者之间来回海报和讲座。
