Hello everyone,
We currently have several options for pre- and post-conference tours for RGC7. Descriptions for the tours can be found at http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/tours. We are trying to determine if there is enough interest for further planning for these pre- and post-tours in order to provide those interested with the cost for the tours.
We have heard from a few people, but would like to know from more attendees which pre- and post-tours are of the most interest. By letting us know which tours you are interested in now, you will not be obligated to register for the tour. We are only gauging interest to see if there will be enough people to make these tours cost-effective.
Please email which tour options you might be interested in to rgc7(a)rosacae.org<mailto:rgc7@rosacae.org> by October 31st.
Thank you,
Jodi

Hello everybody!
I hope you all had a wonderful and productive summer and are all ready for the fall to start!
It is now time to start thinking about RosExec elections for the upcoming year.
Five US people will be rotating off at the end of this year (Kate Evans, Jay Norelli, Mercey Olmstead, Janet Slovin, and Vance Whitaker).
Now, looking at the numbers, we will have the following make up next year with those left:
Inst: Univ 6, Gvt 4, Ind 2
Region: South 2, West 6, East 4
So we really need people from industry and/or the South to help bolster representation.
We will be looking for nominations over the next few weeks. If you know of someone who may be interested in serving on RosExec, please have them contact me and I can help them, or send me their information and I can contact them. We will need a short Bio from them.
I have a timeline in place as follows:
Nominations to me By Oct 15, 2013
Voting will be carried out Between Nov 1-15, 2013
Secretary nominations and Election Early December
Announcement of Results at PAG
Once again, hope you are looking forward to your new semesters and look forward to catching up with you soon!

Dear Rosaceae Community Members,
As part of an effort to standardize data for inclusion in GDR we would like to form a work group to come up with a standardized nomenclature for SNPs. If you would be interested in participating in this work group please let us know and we can start the process.
Many thanks

On behalf of our organizing committee, we would like to invite all of you to the 1st international conference on Rapid Cycle Crop Breeding (RCCB) which will be held January 7 through the 10th, 2014 (the week prior to Plant and Animal Genome) just outside of Washington DC (Landsdowne, VA). There will be four aspects covered; practical breeding systems, science of shortened juvenility, regulatory aspects of using transgenes for generating non-transgenic crops, and a workshop on how to talk about biotechnology to the public. Invited speakers thus far include: Bert Abbott, Sue Gardner, Pace Lubinsky, Magda-Viola Hanke, Leandro Pena, Steve Strauss and Ralph Scorza. Further information is on our website including how to register: http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/19310505/RCCB%20Conference.docx
