Symposium: Regulatory Genes and the Evolution of Plant Phenotype, June 2004

2004年6月25日至29日，在科罗拉多的柯林斯堡举行的2003年进化会议上将举行一个题为“调节基因和植物表型的进化”的专题讨论会。研讨会将有来自研究生到全职教授的各种职业阶段的演讲者。演讲者将探讨一些与发育调控基因在形态进化中的作用有关的主题。此外，他们将带来五名本科生，主要来自代表性不足的少数民族，参加会议。研讨会将加强植物进化发育生物学家之间以及植物和动物生物学家之间的交流。 更广泛的影响：会议将增强植物进化发育生物学领域的凝聚力，并支持一些年轻科学家的职业发展。此外，本科生参与这样的科学会议将有助于招募最好的学生（特别是少数民族学生）进入科学职业轨道。

A symposium entitled "Regulatory genes and the evolution of plant phenotype" will be held at the Evolution 2003 meeting in Fort Collins, Colorado, June 25-29, 2004. The symposium will feature speakers at a variety of career stages from graduate students to full professors. The speakers will explore a number of topics related to the role of developmental regulatory genes in morphological evolution. Additionally, they will bring five undergraduates, primarily from underrepresented minorities, to the conference. The symposium will enhance communication among plant evolutionary developmental biologists and between plant and animal biologists. Broader impacts: The conference will enhance the cohesion of the field of plant evolutionary developmental biology and support the career advancement of a number of young scientists. Additionally, the engagement of undergraduates in such a scientific conference will contribute to the recruitment of the best students (especially minority students) into the scientific career track.
