Advances in Plant Molecular Systematics
University of Glasgow, U.K. August 13-15, 1997
The conference will focus on recent advances and developments in the
rapidly expanding field of plant molecular systematics, with talks
given by key international speakers. A broad spectrum of the taxonomic
hierarchy will be included, ranging from infra-specific variation and
population differentiation to high-level phylogeny. Particular
attention will be given to the applicability of different approaches
at different taxonomic levels, and the meeting will reflect the
importance of the linkage between molecular population genetics and
phylogeny reconstruction to the understanding of evolutionary patterns
and processes among plants. The integration of molecular and
non-molecular data sets will also be emphasised.
