The 50th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held February 27-March 2, 2008 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC. At this conference, members of the maize community present and discuss their most recent research results covering a wide range of topics including classical genetics, molecular genetics, and genomics. In addition, the conference celebrates the history of and success of Maize Genetics with special sessions that include a historical perspective offered by veteran maize geneticists, a genomics session unveiling a draft sequence of the B73 genome, and a session highlighting the translation of basic maize research to crop improvement. The Maize Genetics Conference provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers. The funding provided by NSF helps defray the costs of participation of students from the U.S. scientific community.

第 50 届年度玉米遗传学会议将于 2008 年 2 月 27 日至 3 月 2 日在华盛顿特区沃德曼公园万豪酒店举行。在这次会议上，玉米界的成员展示并讨论了他们最新的研究成果，涵盖经典遗传学、分子遗传学和基因组学等广泛主题。此外，会议还举办特别会议来庆祝玉米遗传学的历史和成功，其中包括资深玉米遗传学家提供的历史观点、揭晓 B73 基因组序列草案的基因组学会议以及强调玉米基础研究转化的会议以改善作物。 玉米遗传学会议为研究生提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们能够与该领域的科学家见面和互动，以演讲或海报的形式讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这将在他们的职业生涯中证明是无价的。 NSF 提供的资金有助于支付美国科学界学生的参与费用。
