Symposium: Use of Low-Copy Number Nuclear Markers in the Study of Plant Evolution at the 39th Annual AIBS Conference in Honolulu, HI on August 10, 1992

1992年8月10日，在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的第39届美国生物科学研究所(AIBS)年会上，将与美国植物分类学家协会共同举办题为在植物进化研究中使用低拷贝数核标记的研讨会。这次研讨会将促进遗传学、农业和植物生物学科学家之间的跨学科联系，允许自由交流关于应用最新可用的技术来推进系统发育和种群生物学研究的想法。选定的演讲者代表了广泛的学科，应该会吸引植物生物学家的不同受众。将作六次演讲：(1)Tim Helentjaris博士--使用RFLP和PCR策略了解玉米基因组的进化；(2)Paul Keim博士--杂交植物的遗传分析：生物和非生物因素导致遗传结构的群体；(3)Thomas Osborne博士--Brassica核基因组的进化；(4)Loren Rieseberg博士--向日葵(菊科)二倍体杂交物种形成的基因组后果；(5)Barbara Schaal博士--本地植物种群中的小卫星DNA变异；(6)Jonathan Windel博士--棉花的RFLP多样性。

A symposium entitled use of Low-Copy Number Nuclear Markers in the Study of Plant Evolution will be held August 10, 1992, at the 39th annual American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) conference in Honolulu, Hawaii in conjunction with the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. This symposium will foster interdisciplinary contact among scientists from genetics, agriculture and plant biology allowing a free flow of ideas on applying the latest available techniques for advancing the study of phylogenetic and population biology. The selected speakers represent a broad range of disciplines and should attract a diverse audience of plant biologists. Six presentations will be made: (1) Dr. Tim Helentjaris--Use of RFLP and PCR strategies to understand the evolution of the maize genome; (2) Dr. Paul Keim--Genetic analysis of hybrid plants: biotic and abiotic factors result in genetically structured populations; (3) Dr. Thomas Osborn--Evolution of Brassica nuclear genomes; (4) Dr. Loren Rieseberg--Genomic consequences of diploid hybrid speciation in Helianthus (Asteraceae); (5) Dr. Barbara Schaal--Minisatellite DNA variation in native plant populations; (6) Dr. Jonathan Wendel--RFLP diversity in cotton.
