The focus of this conference, which is being organized by the American Society of Plant Biologists, will be on the nature and mechanisms of genetic variation and their effects on evolution of plant form and function, as well as on plant speciation and crop domestication. The proposed meeting is intended to bring together scientists working on a number of different areas, from population genetics and evolutionary genomics to chromosome biology, epigenetics and developmental biology, to achieve a synthesis of ideas and approaches. There will be seven sessions of oral presentations on the following topics: Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics, Origin of Genetic Variation, Epigenetics and Epigenomics, Chromosome Dynamics, Genetic Mechanisms in Plant Development, Genetic Mechanisms in Plant-Microbe Interactions. In addition, there will be poster sessions and a keynote lecture. The number of participants will be limited to 250, with the expectation that a high percentage of these will be graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Poster sessions and talks selected from abstracts will provide opportunities for students, postdoctoral fellows and young investigators to present their own research. The secluded setting and schedule are designed to facilitate ongoing interaction between presenters and attendees. All meals will be on-site and the invited speakers will be in attendance throughout the entire meeting. The funds requested will be used exclusively to support the registration costs of students, postdocs and young investigators. Therefore, it is expected that this gathering will provide a unique opportunity for young researchers to learn about the latest developments in this rapidly growing research area and to interact and exchange ideas with leading researchers for the duration of the conference.

这次会议的重点是由美国植物生物学家学会组织的，将介绍遗传变异的性质和机制及其对植物形式和功能进化的影响以及植物的形成和作物驯化。拟议的会议旨在将从人口遗传学和进化基因组学到染色体生物学，表观遗传学和发育生物学的科学家汇集在一起​​，以实现思想和方法的综合。关于以下主题的口服演讲将有七个会议：进化遗传学和基因组学，遗传变异的起源，表观遗传学和表观基因组学，染色体动力学，植物发育中的遗传机制，植物菌相互作用的遗传机制。此外，还将举行海报会议和主题演讲。参与者的人数将限制在250个，预计其中很大一部分将是研究生和博士后研究员。从摘要中选出的海报会议和演讲将为学生，博士后研究员和年轻调查人员提供自己的研究机会。僻静的环境和时间表旨在促进主持人和与会者之间的持续互动。所有餐点都将是现场，并在整个会议上将参加邀请的演讲者。要求的资金将专门用于支持学生，博士后和年轻调查人员的注册费用。因此，预计这次聚会将为年轻的研究人员提供一个独特的机会，以了解这个快速发展的研究领域的最新发展，并在会议期间与领先的研究人员进行交互和交流思想。
