Conference Organizer: Scherago International
SCHEDULE:
4 full days, January 24-27, 1994 (plus Sunday computer software
workshop on 1/23/94 and Wheat, Sugar Cane, and Pine Tree
workshops - before and after the main meeting)
There will be 6 formal sessions, with 4-6 speakers each,
including a one hour plenary lecture every morning. Each of the
other lectures will be 30 minutes (25 + 5 minutes for questions).
In addition there will be one afternoon devoted to crop
species workshops. One afternoon will be free for informal
discussions and tours of San Diego and local attractions will be
arranged for that "free" afternoon.
All submitted or invited poster talks will be one page long,
using forms provided by PG-II. Invited talks will also be one
page long and will use the same abstract forms. (The resulting
abstract forms will be printed four to a page. This is same as
was done for the PG-I abstracts.) At the request of participants
at PG-I and other plant genome scientists additional copies of
the printed PG-II abstracts will be available at the meeting for
sale at $10 from Scherago International.

Sunday:
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Computer Workshop: Genome Information Tools
and Resources
The workshop will provide a view o some of the existing
software used to maintain and analyze genomic information. The
list of speakers are designed to give he average plant molecular
biologist an idea of what is available today and what they can do
today.

Researchers are invited to submit poster papers in the area
of Plant Genome research. Some papers submitted for poster
presentations may be chosen for presentation as a short lecture.
The registration brochure will go out in August 1993.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts will be
15 November 1993.
The program will include all the abstracts, an author index,
and each abstract will be coded by a predefined tag indicating
the subject matter of the research contained in the poster.
