Arabidopsis thaliana has been the subject of genetic analysis for more than forty years.Currently thousands of researchers worldwide work with this highly tractable reference plant, using it to study nearly all aspects of plant biology. The plant research community has responded to the challenge of exploiting the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis with an ambitious functional genomics program, driving the discovery of Arabidopsis gene functions and, by extension, gene functions in all plants. A key component in the synergistic interactions among Arabidopsis research laboratories is the opportunity to meet and share scientific results with colleagues from around the world at the annual International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR). The 19th annual ICAR, to be held July 23-27, 2008, in Montreal, Canada, is anticipated to draw over 1000 delegates from countries around the world. The participation of graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and beginning investigators will be fostered through travel awards to attend the conference. The funding provided by NSF will be used to broaden participation of young scientists from the US scientific community and from developing countries. Conference program and abstracts will be publicly available on the conference website, which is linked to the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) website (www.arabidopsis.org).

塔利亚纳（Thaliana）拟南芥已经成为遗传分析的主题已有40多年了。目前，全世界成千上万的研究人员使用这种高度易于处理的参考植物来研究植物生物学的几乎所有方面。植物研究界已经回应了通过雄心勃勃的功能基因组学计划来利用拟南芥的完整基因组序列的挑战，推动了拟南芥基因功能的发现，并扩展了基因在所有植物中的功能。拟南芥研究实验室之间协同互动的关键组成部分是在年度国际拟南芥研究（ICAR）年度国际会议上与来自世界各地的同事见面和分享科学成果的机会。第19届年度ICAR将于2008年7月23日至27日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行，预计将吸引全球各国的1000多名代表。 研究生，博士后员工和初学者的参与将通过旅行奖培养参加会议。 NSF提供的资金将用于扩大美国科学界和发展中国家的年轻科学家的参与。 会议计划和摘要将在会议网站上公开可用，该网站链接到拟南芥信息资源（TAIR）网站（www.arabidopsis.org）。
