This award will support attendance by U.S. scientists at the Conference on Evolution of Plant Phenotypes, from Genomes to Traits to be held in Barcelona, Spain on March 17-18, 2015. The meeting will include presentations by junior and senior investigators in a format that will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Presentations will address a range of topics related to plant evolution, with the overarching aim of providing insights with potential applications to sustainable agriculture and food security. The scientific goal of the meeting will be to connect genotype to phenotype by emphasizing two specific areas in plant evolution: effects of multiple rounds of whole genome doubling and contributions to genome evolution of proliferation and deletion of transposable elements. In these contexts, focus will be on domestication, breeding and local adaptation of crop genomes. To broadly share the outcomes of the meeting, presentations will be available from the conference website, and a meeting report will be published in a widely disseminated journal.Funded by the Plant Genome Research Program in the Directorate of Biological Sciences, Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.

该奖项将支持美国科学家参加将于2015年3月17-18日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的从基因组到性状的植物表型进化会议。会议将包括初级和高级研究人员的报告，其形式将促进正式和非正式环境中的科学交流。演讲将涉及与植物进化相关的一系列主题，其总体目标是为可持续农业和粮食安全提供潜在应用的见解。会议的科学目标是通过强调植物进化中的两个特定领域：多轮全基因组加倍的影响以及转座因子的增殖和缺失对基因组进化的贡献，将基因型与表型联系起来。在这种情况下，重点将放在作物基因组的驯化、育种和本地适应上。为了广泛分享会议的成果，将在会议网站上提供介绍，并在广泛传播的期刊上发表会议报告。由生物科学理事会植物基因组研究计划资助，综合有机体系统部。
