The 54th Maize Genetics Conference (MGC) will be held at the Pheasant Run Resort, St. Charles, IL on March 14-17, 2013. This conference assembles scientists from industry and academia to discuss the latest research developments on many areas encompassing maize genetics The 2013 conference will have an outstanding program consisting of four plenary speakers: Michael J. Scanlon (Cornell University), Julia Bailey-Serres (University of California, Riverside), Jen Sheen (Harvard Medical School), and James Holland (USDA-ARS/North Carolina State University). The core program will consist of 35 18-minute oral talks scheduled in the morning sessions and two afternoon poster sessions with the four plenary talks held in the evening. The 2013 MGC meeting will have a special drought workshop consisting of oral presentations by scientists from academia and industry [Marc Cooper (Dupont Pioneer), Roberto Tuberosa (University of Bologna) and Dan Dyer (Syngenta Seeds) followed by a panel discussion on future strategies to enhance drought tolerance in this major cereal crop. The Maize Genetics Conference is not only an exciting scientific meeting but provides outstanding opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to interact with outstanding scientists within and outside the maize community. The meeting actively emphasizes and supports the training of students and postdocs in developing their communication and interpersonal skills. The conference is unique in that it attempts to support the hotel and meal costs of all student attendees. Detailed efforts are planned to broaden the participation of women and members of groups under-represented in the sciences. The funding provided by NSF will broaden participation and help defray the costs of participation of students from the U.S. scientific community.

This conference assembles scientists from industry and academia to discuss the latest research developments on many areas encompassing maize genetics The 2013 conference will have an outstanding program consisting of four plenary speakers: Michael J. Scanlon (Cornell University), Julia Bailey-Serres (University of加利福尼亚，河滨），詹·辛（Harvard Medical School）和詹姆斯·霍兰德（James Holland）（USDA-ARS/北卡罗来纳州立大学）。 核心计划将包括计划在早上会议上举行的35次18分钟的口头演讲和两个下午的海报会议，并在晚上举行了四次全体会议。 2013年MGC会议将举办特殊的干旱研讨会，包括学术界和工业的科学家（Marc Cooper（Marc Pioneer），Roberto Tuberosa（博洛尼亚大学）和Dan Dyer（Syntenta Seeds）的口头演讲，随后是对这一重大凝聚力造成干旱的未来策略进行讨论。玉米遗传学会议不仅是一次令人兴奋的科学会议，而且为研究生和博士后科学家提供了与玉米社区内外杰出科学家互动的出色机会。 会议积极强调并支持对学生和博士后的培训，以发展他们的沟通和人际交往能力。 会议的独特之处在于它试图支持所有学生与会者的酒店和用餐成本。 计划详细的努力来扩大妇女的参与和科学中代表性不足的团体的参与。 NSF提供的资金将扩大参与，并有助于支配美国科学界的学生参与成本。
