CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Plant Biology
format will include six Major Symposia and up to 28 Minisymposia based
primarily on the abstracts submitted under the topic categories listed
on the right. The Program Committee determines the titles and contents
of the minisymposia after reviewing the submitted abstracts. Poster presentations
are also expected for those abstracts selected for presentation in minisymposia.
Suggestions for minisymposia topics are welcomed and should be sent to
Wendy Sahli, wendys@aspb.org, or
Plant Biology Abstracts, 15501 Monona Drive, Rockville, MD 20855 USA.
In addition to the
scientific abstract submission, a new field entitled “Broader Impacts”
will invite participants to describe novel education and outreach activities.
This submission (600-character limit) will serve as the basis for selection
for a special Education and Outreach minisymposium.
