Symposium: Molecular and Genetic Organization of Plant Chromosomes, Columbus, Ohio, August 11, 1987

题为“植物基因组的分子和遗传组织”的研讨会将于1987年8月11日在俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄州立大学美国生物科学研究所与美国植物学会遗传学部的会议上举行。这次研讨会是遗传学部正在进行的鼓励将分子遗传学应用于植物学问题的努力的一部分。我们挑选了目前在植物分子遗传学和发育生物学方面有重要研究计划的演讲者，他们将引起广大听众的兴趣。在很大程度上，美国植物学会由非分子科学家组成。这次为期半天的研讨会让他们注意到植物界正在进行的一些最重要的分子工作，并将为非分子植物学家提供一个与分子植物学家互动的环境。

A half-day symposium entitled "Molecular and Genetic Organization of Plant Genomes" will held be held August 11, 1987, at the meeting of the Genetics Section of the Botanical Society of America in conjunction with the American Institute of Biological Sciences at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. This symposium is part of an ongoing effort by the Genetics Section to encourage application of molecular genetics to botanical problems. We have selected speakers with important current research programs in plant molecular genetics and developmental biology who will be of interest to a broad audience. For the most part, the Botanical Society of America is composed of non- molecular scientists. This half-day symposium brings to their attention some of the most important molecular work in progress in the plant world and will provide an environment in which non-molecular botanists can interact with molecular botanists.
