DRAFT for PG-III
January 15-19, 1995
(PLEASE NOTE: As lecturers accept, workshops are added, changed,
and finalized, titles of papers are received, and so on, this
information will be incorporated into the program given below.)
The abstracts from the PG-I and PG-II meetings are now
available on the Internet. Gopher to "probe.nalusda.gov" or use a
WWW client to view
"http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/plant/index.html
In either case, the abstracts appear on the menu and have been
WAIS indexed for convenient searching.
All administrative questions should be addressed to Darrin
Scherago at Scherago International Inc., 11 Penn Plaza, Suite
1003, New York, NY 10001. Their phone number is 212-643-1750
(FAX number is 212-643-1758) and their Internet e-mail address is
SCHERAGO at BIOTECHNET.COM. Scherago International is the conference
organizer for PG-III.
All submitted or invited poster talks will be one page long,
using forms provided by Scherago International. 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-II abstracts.) The PG-III
abstracts will be available online prior (and after) to the
meeting on the NAL computer via gopher and the WWW.
