Hi Folks,
We have been invited to submit a full proposal to the USDA SCRI program for GDR (current funding ends August 31 of this year). If you are submitting a proposal to the same program and you will have data that can be submitted to GDR, could you provide the title of your proposal and the PI information so I can list it in our proposal.
Many thanks

Hello everyone,
I wanted to send out one more general reminder about the upcoming RGC7 conference (http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7). If you are a presenting author, and have not registered yet, you have until May 15th to do so otherwise your abstract will be removed from the program. If you know you are not coming, please let us know at rgc7(a)rosaceae.org<mailto:rgc7@rosaceae.org> so we can adjust the program as needed. All registration fees must be paid by May 15th for presenting authors and attendees.
Pre-tours-There is still room on both pre-tours. If you have already registered, you can add a pre-tour to your registration by modifying your registration on the payment site (https://www.etouches.com/ereg/index.php?eventid=78010&). You will need to enter your email address and reference number from the registration confirmation email. Details about each tour can be found at http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/tours .
Breeding and GGB Workshop pre-tour--We will be making the hotel arrangements in Wenatchee ($109 + taxes). Registrants will be paying for the hotel at check-in, and I will be contacting the registrants soon about whether they want their own room or if they want to share for the reservations.
Mt. Rainier Trip-We need a minimum of 39 people for this trip. Currently there are 18 people registered. If by May 15 we do not have 39 people, we will have to cancel this trip and issue refunds.
Conference hotel in Seattle-We have a room block at the Red Lion on 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle (http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/hotel). Reservations must be made by May 24 to get the conference rate of $179/night.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
See you in Seattle!

We are still finalizing the details for the conference pre-tours, but here is a description of the pre-conference activities we have planned. We will be providing details about the costs soon.
Pre-conference tours:
WSU Cherry and Apple Breeding Programs and Genomics-Genetics-Breeding Workshop (June 21-22, Sat-Sun)
Depart from Seattle via bus mid-day of Saturday, June 21 and enjoy a scenic drive across the Cascade Mountains and through eastern Washington State. There will be stops at the WSU Cherry Breeding program in Prosser and orchard tours in Mattawa (yes, there will be cherries to sample). The group will then head to Wenatchee for an overnight stay. On Sunday, June 22, participants will attend a Genomics-Genetics-Breeding Workshop at the WSU-Wenatchee Research Station and tour the WSU Sunrise Research Orchard and learn about the WSU Apple Breeding Program. The group will travel back to Seattle in the early evening.
Mount Rainier National Park (June 23, Monday before the conference)<http://www.nps.gov/mora/index.htm>
Seattle has a great view of Mt. Rainier in the distance. Part of the Cascade Mountain Range, Mt. Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous United States and is surrounded by old growth forest. This trip will depart in the morning and travel to Mount Rainier National Park for a day of sight-seeing. While at the National Park, enjoy the stunning views and see the historic Paradise Inn and new Paradise Jackson Visitor Center and other roadside attractions. The bus will return to Seattle in the afternoon.
Other Pre-conference Activities:
Space on June 23 for other meetings.
GDR Training Workshop on June 23. Most likely will be later in the day after the Mount Rainier trip gets back.
See you in Seattle!

Hi all,
Hope you are all fairing well! PAG is underway and we had a wonderful fruit and nut workshop this morning!
The US RosExec meeting will be held in the Stratford room here at PAG Sunday Jan 12 (tomorrow) from 8am-10am with an international meeting following immediately from 10am-12pm.
I have attached an agenda for the meeting as well as two set of minutes form the previous meetings that we need to accept.
If anyone is not at PAG and wants to join the US RosExec meeting, please drop me an e-mail, friend me on Skype (jd.swanson1), and I’ll sign you in! Please be online by at 7.50 Pacific time so we can get rolling here. From what I understand it can be a little hard to listen in, but I’ll do my best. I will also record the meeting which you can request from me at any time to listen at your convenience.
Looking forward to catching up and see you tomorrow!
Best
JD

Hello Everyone,
I hope that you had a great break. I have an opening this year for a postdoctoral position, focusing on plant nutrition, specifically nitrogen on the development of peach flavor.
If you know of someone, (and maybe that's you!) - I will say that Florida has nice sunny and warm weather when everyone else is freezing. :)
Thanks so much everyone!
Take care and Happy New Year,
Mercy
