This is a call for abstracts and pre-registration. Everyone who submits an abstract is required to pay the registration fee prior to the meeting to be included in the Final Abstract Guide and posted on the website. You must be registered by December 1, or your abstract will NOT be printed or posted on the website. Please update us if you cannot attend so we may free up poster space in the Grand Exhibit Hall where exhibits and coffee breaks are just steps from the Atlas Foyer. Don't forget to check out the Travel Grant Applications; the deadlines are closing soon. The meeting will again offer the satellite sessions and workshops as presented in earlier conferences. A couple of new workshops this time are "Genomics of Plant Disease Resistance" and "Recombination". There will be over 100 technical, industry, and computer training workshops. The meeting draft for PAG-XVII and abstracts from PG-I through PAG-XVI are available on the PAG website at: http://intl-pag.org/ We are requesting that all abstracts be submitted electronically. Point your browser to the address below and click on the "Abstracts Submission" link when ready to submit your abstract at: http://intl-pag.org/ Due to severe delays in getting VISAs to enter the US, we recommend that you plan ahead and begin the process now. DO NOT WAIT! See the information link at the web site as updates are provided. All researchers presenting posters must pre-register for the meeting to have their abstract printed in the final meeting program. The abstract DEADLINE is Friday, October 3, 2008. Registration is available via the internet using our secure on-line registration form.

The successful applicant will join an NSF Plant Genome Research Program-funded collaboration between the Carnegie Institution, Oregon State University, Iowa State University, South Dakota State University, and Stanford University. The project uses molecular, genetic, and bioinformatic tools to identify genes required for gametophyte development and function in maize. A Ph.D. in molecular biology, genetics, or a related field is required. A strong background in genetics and molecular biology is desired. Experience in maize genetics is advantageous but not required. Excellent communication skills and an ability and willingness to collaborate are essential. The successful applicant is also expected to interact with undergraduates participating in the project through the Stanford Science in Service Program. Interested individuals should send an application package through e-mail (a cover letter detailing experience; CV; publication reprints; and names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references) to Matt Evans, Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Plant Biology, 260 Panama St., Stanford, CA 94305 USA; phone: 650-325-1521 x.283; fax: 650-325-6857; email: mmsevans@stanford.edu The Carnegie Institution is an equal opportunity employer. -- Matt Evans Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Plant Biology 260 Panama St. Stanford, CA 94305 phone: (650) 325-1521 ext.283 fax: (650) 325-6857 From ipmb2009 from missouri.edu Thu Sep 11 21:22:10 2008 From: ipmb2009 from missouri.edu (IPMB 2009 Conference) Date: Thu Sep 11 22:13:11 2008 Subject: [Maize] 9th IPMB Congress, St. Louis, MO, Oct 25-30, 2009 Message-ID: <200809120222.m8C2MACg026964@www.intl-pag.org> Dear Colleague: You are invited to attend the 9th International Congress of Plant Molecular Biology (IPMB), October 25-30, 2009 taking place in St. Louis, Missouri.
