With the rapid increase in new research findings, new tools and techniques, the soon-to-be-finished genome, the increased number of laboratories that work in all aspects of Medicago truncatula biology, and recent projects on next-generation genotyping in Medicago, a Medicago-specific meeting would benefit many researchers. The 2009 Medicago truncatula Model Legume Congress, to be held July 12-16, 2009 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, CA, will provide such a venue for the international Medicago community. Scientific sessions will cover recent advances in legume biology, including symbiosis and other plant-microbe interactions, plant development relevant to legumes, nutrient homeostasis and secondary metabolism, and ecological genomics. Cross cutting themes will include subjects such as genome analysis (especially next generation technologies, phylogenetics and comparative genomics), ecology and population genetics, natural and induced variation, as well as bioinformatics and functional genomics tool development. The Congress will emphasize cross cutting themes and participation of researchers at all career stages, and will strive for gender balance. The participation of graduate students, postdoctoral and beginning investigators will be fostered through travel awards to attend the Congress. 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 online on the conference website and through a program book of abstracts that will be distributed to meeting attendees.

随着新的研究成果、新的工具和技术的迅速增加，即将完成的基因组，在蒺藜苜蓿生物学各个方面工作的实验室数量的增加，以及最近在苜蓿中进行的下一代基因分型项目，一个专门针对苜蓿的会议将使许多研究人员受益。 将于2009年7月12日至16日在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫阿西洛马会议场地举行的2009年蒺藜苜蓿模式豆类大会将为国际苜蓿界提供这样一个场所。 科学会议将涵盖豆类生物学的最新进展，包括共生和其他植物-微生物相互作用，与豆类相关的植物发育，营养稳态和次生代谢，以及生态基因组学。交叉主题将包括基因组分析（特别是下一代技术、生物遗传学和比较基因组学）、生态学和种群遗传学、自然和诱导变异以及生物信息学和功能基因组学工具开发等主题。 大会将强调跨领域主题和研究人员在所有职业阶段的参与，并将努力实现性别平衡。研究生、博士后和初出茅庐的研究人员的参与将通过参加大会的旅行奖励得到促进。 NSF提供的资金将用于扩大美国科学界和发展中国家青年科学家的参与。会议计划和摘要将在会议网站上公开提供，并通过将分发给与会者的摘要计划书。
