44th Annual Maize Genetics Conference; Orlando, Florida, March 2002

第44届玉米遗传学年会将于2002年3月14日至17日在佛罗里达州奥兰多凯悦酒店举行。这次会议为玉米遗传学社区的成员提供了介绍和讨论他们最新研究成果的机会。课程内容广泛，包括细胞遗传学和染色体力学、分子遗传学、生化遗传学、细胞质遗传、遗传图谱和分子标记、转座元件行为和应用、基因识别和表达、植物发育、组织培养和遗传转化，以及新的基因组学方法。此外，两个专门的研讨会将专注于草作为一个单一的遗传系统和生物技术食品的前景。玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们与该领域的科学家见面和互动，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，这些网络将在他们的职业生涯中被证明是无价的。

The 44th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held March 14-17, 2002, at the Hyatt Orlando in Florida. 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 will be covered including cytogenetics and chromosome mechanics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, cytoplasmic inheritance, genetic mapping and molecular markers, transposable element behavior and applications, gene identification and expression, plant development, tissue culture and genetic transformation, and new genomics approaches. In addition, two dedicated workshops will focus on grasses as a single genetic system and the promise of biotech foods. 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.
