ANNOUNCEMENT

The Colorado State University Plant Biotechnology Group will host a one-day Rocky Mountain Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Symposium, April 21, 2003, on the Fort Collins campus of Colorado State University. The symposium is designed to promote interaction among the participants, including individuals from academia, commerce, and government in Colorado and Wyoming who are interested in plant biotechnology, plant molecular biology, and plant science research. This year's symposium will be held the same day as the Thornton-Massa/Bridges to the Future Lecture, featuring Dr. Paul Alan Cox, Director of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, Hawaii, an internationally renowned ethnobotanist.

The symposium will begin with a morning session of oral presentations, followed by the keynote address and an oral/poster paper session by faculty and students.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Researchers from academia, industry, and federal laboratories are invited to present papers on current plant biotechnology, molecular biology, and plant science research. The oral paper/poster session will be held in the afternoon in the University Club following the Keynote Address by Dr. Cox. Posters should be set up prior to 10:45 am and be left in place until 4:30 pm. The size of the posters should be no larger than 4 x 8 feet with lettering large enough to seen from a few feet away.

If you are interested in attending the Seventh Rocky Mountain Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Symposium, if you need parking, want to present a poster paper, and/or want to avoid the late fee surcharge, please return the enclosed registration form by April 10, 2003. It would be appreciated if you would share this information with your colleagues and make extra copies of the registration form as necessary. Program information is included on the reverse side of this page.

The abstracts will be published in Proceedings of the Symposium and posted in electronic form in the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station web site. Please prepare a one-page abstract in a Word or WordPerfect file (NOT MacIntosh) and either e-mail to: Ann McSay amcsay@agsci.colostate.edu, or send a diskette to Ann McSay, Dept. of Horticulture, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, before April 10. The $10.00 ($15.00 after April 10) registration fee, which is required of all participants to help cover costs for food and facilities, will be waived if the poster senior author is an undergraduate or graduate student. Each registrant will receive a copy of the Proceedings on the morning of the meeting.

In order to ensure adequate facilities, those interested in presenting a poster should return the registration form no later than April 10, 2003.
