The 50th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held February 27-March 2, 2008 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC. At this conference, members of the maize community present and discuss their most recent research results covering a wide range of topics including classical genetics, molecular genetics, and genomics. In addition, the conference celebrates the history of and success of Maize Genetics with special sessions that include a historical perspective offered by veteran maize geneticists, a genomics session unveiling a draft sequence of the B73 genome, and a session highlighting the translation of basic maize research to crop improvement. 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 as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers. The funding provided by NSF helps defray the costs of participation of students from the U.S. scientific community.

第50届年度玉米遗传会议将于2008年2月27日2月27日在华盛顿特区的万豪沃德曼公园酒店举行。在这次会议上，玉米社区成员介绍并讨论了他们最新的研究结果，其中涵盖了许多主题，包括经典遗传学，分子遗传学和基因组学。此外，会议还通过特殊会议庆祝玉米遗传学的历史和成功，其中包括资深玉米遗传学家提供的历史观点，基因组学会议揭示了B73基因组草案的草案，并强调了基本玉米研究的翻译以进行作物改进。 玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个很棒的机会，可以与该领域的科学家见面并互动，讨论他们的研究思想，以谈判或海报，并开始建立科学网络，这些科学网络将在整个职业生涯中证明是无价的。 NSF提供的资金有助于支付美国科学界学生参与的成本。
