Abstracts in PDF format
This conference
on Plant Genetics will be the first of an annual series of specialist
meetings sponsored by the ASPB.  The
focus of this meeting will be on the nature and mechanisms of genetic
variation and their effects on evolution of plant form and function, as
well as on plant speciation and crop domestication. The meeting will bring
together speakers working on different organisms, and on different aspects
and approaches to the problem, with the aim of achieving a synthesis of
understanding to stimulate discussion and further research. Approximately
250 participants are expected. The secluded setting and schedule are designed
to facilitate ongoing interaction between the presenters and attendees.
All meals will be on-site and the speakers will be in attendance throughout
the entire conference. Afternoons will be free for recreation, informal
discussions and other activities. Participation by graduate students and
young postdoctoral fellows is strongly encouraged, and discounted rates
for registration and accommodation will be available.

There will
be a keynote lecture followed by seven sessions dedicated to specific
topics. Each session will feature three in-depth presentations plus shorter
talks based on selected abstracts. Poster sessions will be scheduled daily.
