CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Read How ASPB Minisymposia Are Selected

Travel Grant Applicants, please submit your application abstract through the Travel Grant Application process online. Submitting for Plant Biology 2010 will not automatically submit you for a travel grant.

The Plant Biology format will include six major symposia and up to 30 minisymposia based primarily on the abstracts submitted under the topic categories listed to the left. The Program Committee determines the titles and contents of the minisymposia after reviewing the submitted abstracts. Oral presentations are required for those abstracts selected for minisymposia. Suggestions for minisymposia topics are welcomed and should be submitted online.

In addition to the scientific abstract submission, there is field on the form titled "Broader Impacts". Please use this field to describe novel education outreach activities. This submission (600-character limit) will serve as the basis for selection for a special Education and Outreach minisymposium.

New this year:

Categories are purposely broader this year than in previous years. Keyword selections are added to the submission process to assist with the selection of minisymposia and searching of abstracts.

There will be no printed abstract book this year. Instead memory sticks will be provided to attendees with the full abstracts. Titles and authors only will be printed in the program book.
