47th Annual Maize Genetics Conference to be held March 10-13, 2005 in Lake Geneva Wisconsin

PIS正在组织第47届年度玉米遗传学会议，会议将于2005年3月10日至13日在威斯康星州的日内瓦湖举行。会议为玉米界成员提供了介绍和讨论最新研究成果的机会。会议涵盖了广泛的主题，包括经典遗传学、分子遗传学和基因组学。玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们与该领域的科学家见面和互动，在讲座或海报上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无价的。会议还包括两个专题研讨会，主题是1)特定部位的转化系统和2)克隆玉米基因的方法。为了鼓励学生参与，大会为一些研究生和本科生支付参加会议的费用。鼓励学生在会议上做简短的演讲，向组委会提交一份拟议演讲的摘要。NSF提供的资金将用于支持来自美国科学界的学生参与。

The PIs are organizing the 47th Annual Maize Genetics Conference to be held in Lake Geneva, WI, March 10-13, 2005. The meeting provides opportunities for members of the maize community to present and discuss recent research results. The conference covers a wide range of topics, including classical genetics, molecular genetics, and genomics. The Maize Genetics Conference provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas at talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers. The conference also includes two workshops on the topics of 1) site-specific transformation systems and 2) methods for cloning maize genes. To encourage student participation, the Conference defrays the cost of attendance for a number of graduate and undergraduate students. Students are encouraged to give short talks at the meeting by submitting an abstract of a proposed talk to the organizing committee. The funding provided by NSF will be used to support the participation of students from the U.S. scientific community.
