Intellectual Merit. The 54th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held March 15-18, 2012 at the Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center in Portland, OR. The meeting offers members of the scientific community the opportunity to present and discuss their most recent research relevant to maize genetics and plant biology. A wide range of topics investigating the structure and function of genes, pathways, and traits are included, spanning the spectrum of maize genetics from basic studies of gene action to quantitative trait dissection to more applied topics relevant to crop improvement. The meeting will feature 45-minute talks by four invited plenary speakers: Thomas Dresselhaus, University of Regensburg; Jenny Graves, Australian National University; Bill Tracy, University of Wisconsin - Madison; Venkatesan Sundaresan, University of California - Davis. In addition, the program will include approximately 35 18-minute talks by speakers selected from submitted abstracts, and two poster sessions. Broader Impacts. The Maize Genetics Conference provides outstanding opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to meet and interact with an international gathering of scientists in the field, to discuss their research while presenting talks or posters, and to establish scientific networks that will be valuable as they embark on their careers. Efforts to broaden participation at the meeting will occur through outreach and recruiting efforts that seek to support Conference attendance by students, postdocs and young faculty from underrepresented groups with an interest in exploring research possibilities in maize genetics. Partnering these awardees with experienced maize researchers at similar career stages will facilitate their productive participation in the Conference. The Maize Genetics Conference is unique compared to other meetings in its efforts to support attendance by all graduate student attendees.

智力优点。 第54届年度玉米遗传会议将于2012年3月15日至18日在俄勒冈州波特兰的Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center举行。该会议为科学界的成员提供了机会，有机会介绍和讨论与玉米遗传学和植物生物学有关的最新研究。包括研究基因，途径和性状的结构和功能的广泛主题，这些主题涵盖了玉米遗传学的基本遗传学，从基因作用的基本研究到定量性状剖析到与作物改善相关的更应用的主题。这次会议将由四位受邀全体演讲者进行45分钟的会谈：雷根斯堡大学的托马斯·德莱德豪斯（Thomas Dresselhaus）；澳大利亚国立大学珍妮·格雷夫斯（Jenny Graves）；比尔·特雷西（Bill Tracy），威斯康星大学 - 麦迪逊大学；加利福尼亚大学 - 戴维斯大学Venkatesan Sundaresan。此外，该计划将包括从提交摘要和两个海报会议中选出的演讲者大约35个18分钟的会谈。更广泛的影响。玉米遗传学会议为研究生和博士后科学家提供了出色的机会，可以与该领域的科学家聚会并互动，在介绍谈判或海报时讨论他们的研究，并建立科学网络，这些科学网络在他们从事自己的职业生涯时将非常有价值。扩大参加会议的努力将通过推广和招聘努力进行，这些努力寻求支持学生，博士后和年轻教职员工的会议，从而有兴趣探索玉米遗传学的研究可能性。在类似的职业阶段与经验丰富的玉米研究人员合作，将有助于他们在会议上的富有成效的参与。与其他会议的其他会议相比，玉米遗传学会议是独一无二的，以支持所有研究生与会者的出席。
