项目摘要

The 58th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held March 17-20, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Jacksonville, Florida. 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. This conference grant will broaden the scope of the meeting by funding participants from under-represented groups to attend. These participants will also receive professional development training through presenting their research and interacting with invited speakers and scientist-mentors during the conference. The experience of attending a Maize Genetics Conference, the exposure to cutting-edge research, the scientific interactions, and the contacts established are vital catalysts for the careers of aspiring students and postdocs.A wide range of topics investigating the structure and function of genes, pathways, and traits are included in the conference, 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 58th Annual meeting will feature talks by four invited plenary speakers: Karen Koch (University of Florida), Mark Stitt (Max Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology, Golm, Germany), Chris Schoen (Technische Universitat Munchen, Freising, Germany), and Jonathan Lynch (Pennsylvania State University). There will also be a plenary session to award the 3rd Barbara McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics and Genome Studies to recognize one of the most outstanding plant geneticists of the present era. The program will include approximately 35 18-minute talks by speakers selected from submitted abstracts, and two poster sessions. 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. Funding from NSF will be used to broaden participation at the meeting through outreach and recruiting efforts that seek to support Conference attendance by students, postdocs and young faculty from under-represented 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. In addition, students who are minorities or first time attendees will be supported by defraying the cost of food and lodging at the Conference. The Maize Genetics Conference is unique compared to other meetings in its efforts to support attendance of all graduate student attendees.

第58届年度玉米遗传会议将于2016年3月17日至20日在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的凯悦酒店举行。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。这次会议赠款将通过为参加人数不足的团体参加的参与者参加参加会议的范围。这些参与者还将通过介绍研究并在会议期间与受邀演讲者和科学家委员会进行互动，从而获得专业发展培训。参加玉米遗传学会议，对尖端研究的暴露，科学互动以及建立的接触的经验是对有抱负的学生和博士后职业的重要催化剂。一系列的主题研究了基因，途径和途径的结构和功能，包括在会议上跨越基础研究的基础研究，从而包括量子的基础研究，以跨越基础研究。改善作物。第58届年会将举办四位受邀全体演讲者的演讲：卡伦·科赫（佛罗里达大学），马克·斯蒂特（Max Planck分子植物生理学研究所，德国戈尔姆），克里斯·肖恩（Chris Schoen），克里斯·肖恩（Technische Universitat，德国弗雷林），德国弗雷林）和乔纳塔纳·莱恩奇（Jonathan Lynch）（宾夕法尼亚州立大学）。还将举行一次全体会议，以授予第三届芭芭拉·麦克林托克（Barbara McClintock）的植物遗传学和基因组研究奖，以表彰当前时代最杰出的植物遗传学家之一。该计划将包括从提交摘要中选择的演讲者和两个海报会议的演讲者进行的大约35个18分钟的会谈。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。 NSF的资金将用于通过宣传和招聘工作来扩大参加会议的参与，这些工作旨在支持学生，培训后和年轻教职员工的参加会议，这些团体来自代表性不足的团体，他们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。此外，通过支付会议上的食物和住宿费用，将支持少数族裔或第一次与会者的学生。与其他会议相比，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。
