13th Solanaceae Conference, SolGenomics: Advances and Applications, Davis, California, September 12-16, 2016

茄科作物包括番茄、甜椒和马铃薯等，这些作物一起代表了美国农业生产的重要部分。本次研讨会/会议针对来自学术界、政府和工业界的参与者，向他们介绍影响这些作物及其生产力的最新科学发展。组织者的目标是从不同的机构招募教师，专业人员，博士后助理和学生，并特别针对来自代表性不足的群体的学生和博士后。除了科学会议，该计划还包括致力于为学生和博士后寻找学术界，工业或政府未来的职业发展会议。与以往解决作物特定主题的茄科会议不同，本次会议将专注于一系列适用于该组中所有作物的主题。本次会议的主题包括基因组学，包括可用于分类和辅助育种目的的不同基因型技术，表观遗传学和甲基化组的表征。其他会议包括高通量表型分析，影响生产力的不同器官的生理和发育研究，对病原体的抵抗力，以及影响这些商品的营养和风味特征的代谢物的分析。研讨会包括职业发展，病原体菌株鉴定，以及使用Solanacea Genomics Network和iPlant/CyVerse等网络资源。

Solanaceous crops include tomato, bell pepper and potato, among others, and together these crops represent a significant part of the agricultural production in the United States. This workshop/conference has targeted participants from academia, government and industry to bring to them the latest scientific developments that impact on the improvement of these crops and their productivity. The organizers aim to recruit faculty, professionals, postdoctoral associates and students from diverse institutions, and are particularly targeting students and postdocs from underrepresented groups. In addition to scientific sessions, the program includes sessions dedicated to career development for students and postdocs looking for a future in academia, industry or government.Unlike previous Solanaceae Conferences that addressed crop specific topics, this conference will focus on a range of topics that are applicable and relevant to all crops in this group. Topics included in this conference include genomics encompassing different genotypic technologies that can be used for taxonomic and assisted breeding purposes, epigenetics and characterization of the methylome. Other sessions include high-throughput phenotyping, and physiological and developmental studies of different organs that impact productivity, resistance to pathogens, and the analysis of metabolites that affect the nutrition and flavor characteristics of these commodities. Workshops included cover career development, pathogen strain identification, and the use or web resources like the Solanacea Genomics Network and iPlant/CyVerse.
