Soybean is one of the world's staple foods and it is the second most cultivated crop in the Unites States. The 14th Biennial Molecular and Cellular Biology of the Soybean Conference, to be held August 12-15, 2012 in Des Moines (IA), will present recent advances in the basic understanding of this crop at the sub-organismal level, and will highlight cutting-edge technologies in soybean genomics. The recent release of the soybean genome sequence and related genomics tools will help improve the understanding of complex genetic traits important for soybean improvement. This meeting attracts a wide range of soybean researchers including molecular geneticists, breeders, physiologists, and pathologists. Funding provided by NSF will broaden participation by defraying the costs of participation for students and postdoctoral associates with specific emphasis on women and underrepresented groups.

大豆是世界上的主食之一，在美国是第二大种植作物。第14届双年度大豆分子和细胞生物学会议将于2012年8月12日至15日在得梅因（IA）举行，将介绍在亚生物体水平上对这种作物的基本理解的最新进展，并将突出大豆基因组学的尖端技术。最近公布的大豆基因组序列和相关基因组学工具将有助于提高对大豆改良重要的复杂遗传性状的理解。这次会议吸引了广泛的大豆研究人员，包括分子遗传学家，育种家，生理学家和病理学家。国家科学基金会提供的资金将通过支付学生和博士后研究员的参与费用来扩大参与，特别强调妇女和代表性不足的群体。
