Dear Rosaceae Community,
As the year 2024 is coming to an end, in RosEXEC we are getting ready for the year 2025 by renovating energy and motivation. Thus, from the RosEXEC leadership we are pleased to announce new additions to the RosEXEC membership.
Dr. Alejandro Calle, at Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology in Spain, and Dr. Yuepeng Han at Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Science Sciences, in China, are joining us as International Liaisons for the European and Asian regions, respectively, for the term 2025-2028.
Dr. Chunxian Chen, at Fruit and Tree Nut Research in Byron, GA, with USDA-ARS, and Dr. Seonghee Lee, at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center of the University of Florida, are joining us as US-based committee members for the term 2025-2028, as well. Also, thank you to Dr. Tom Gradizel, at UC Davis, for his willingness to serve and additional year in this capacity.
Please join us to thank for their service to RosEXEC to rotating off members Dr. Gayle Volk, Dr. Jim Luby, Dr. Josette Lewis, who served as US-based RosEXEC members. Also, to Dr. Daniele Bassi, Dr. Sara Montanari, and Dr. Iban Eduardo Muñoz, who served as international liaisons. Their service and commitment to the Rosaceae Community is appreciated.
RosEXEC is looking forward for the exciting opportunities that the year 2025 will bring. Of high relevance is the RGC12, May 6-9, 2025, in the Costa Brava of Spain, as an opportunity to engage and bring together the Rosaceae Community on the advances of genomics and allied fields for Rosaceae species. Under the lead of Dr. Per McCord as chair of RosEXEC, and Dr. Chris Gottchalk as vice chair, RosEXEC aims to continue fulfilling its mission of serving as a communication, coordination, and focal point for the Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Community.
Wishing you all a successful year 2025,
RosEXEC Leadership
