Conference: 43rd Annual Maize Genetics Conference, being held in Lake Geneva, WI on March 15-18, 2001

第43届玉米遗传学年会将于2001年3月15日至18日在威斯康星州的日内瓦湖举行。会议为玉米遗传学社区的成员提供了展示和讨论他们最新研究成果的机会。广泛的主题涵盖，从古典到分子遗传学。第43届年会包括4位受邀演讲者45分钟的演讲，15分钟的个人演讲，两次海报会议和两次研讨会。特邀演讲嘉宾有：俄勒冈大学的Alice Barkan；凯利·道，佐治亚大学；June Nasrallah，康奈尔大学；以及加州大学圣地亚哥分校的劳里·史密斯。研讨会集中在两个及时的主题：玉米和水稻的比较基因组学和生物信息学。该奖项为学生参加会议提供部分支持。玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个与该领域的科学家见面和互动的绝佳机会，以演讲或海报的形式讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这将在他们的职业生涯中证明是无价的。

The 43rd Annual Maize Genetics Conference is being held March 15-18, 2001 in Lake Geneva, WI. The meeting offers members of the Maize Genetics community the opportunity to present and discuss their most recent research results. A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from classical to molecular genetics. The 43rd Annual meeting features 45 minute talks by four invited speakers, 15 minute talks given by individual participants, two poster sessions, and two workshops. The invited speakers are: Alice Barkan, University of Oregon; Kelly Dawe, University of Georgia; June Nasrallah, Cornell University; and Laurie Smith, University of California-San Diego. The workshops focus on two timely topics: Comparative Genomics of Maize and Rice and Bioinformatics. This award provides partial support toward student participation in the conference. The Maize Genetics meeting provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers.
