Program Information:
You are invited to submit papers on DNA-based markers, applications of next-generation sequencing and analytical tools and bioinformatics as they pertain to horticultural crops. You will tour the OSU CGRB Core Laboratory which provides services in genomics, functional genomics, biocomputing and bioinformatics and the USDA ARS Corvallis Genebank <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102556298233&s=9324&e=001YnVzJ9VNYstw_BEM7bRgvh_E…> where molecular markers are used for managing world collections of hazelnut, pear and many berry crops. During the symposium, you will have an opportunity to explore the state of molecular marker science in 5 sections:

major gene loci, genes and linked markers that may have been discovered and
probably published since the last table was created. Please provide the
information using the format in the last table which you will find at the
following links:

Post-doctoral position in Pear Genomics and Biotechnology
A post-doctoral position is available immediately to study fruit
ripening phenomenon in Pear utilizing genomics and biotechnology
approaches. The project will focus on understanding the cold-temperature
based ripening in certain Pear varieties using transcriptomics. Training
in the areas of genomics, genetics and next-generation sequencing
technologies and an interest in computational biology and breeding will
be preferred.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in plant biology, molecular biology,
biotechnology or horticulture. We are looking for a highly enthusiastic,
self-motivated and a creative individual who is a critical thinker
capable of independent thought and research and is highly desirous of
utilizing this opportunity to advance their career. There are additional
opportunities to contribute to the ongoing apple genome project in the
laboratory. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the
ability to work well in a collaborative research environment are
essential. The successful candidate is expected to participate in
outreach activities, training of graduate and undergraduate students and
interact with fruit industry members. The initial appointment will be
for one year and reappointment will depend on successful performance and
availability of funding. Salary will be commensurate with experience and
qualifications.
Additional information on horticultural genomics and biotechnology
program can be found at www.genomics.wsu.edu
<http://www.genomics.wsu.edu/> . Please email your application along
with detailed curriculum vitae to Dr. Amit Dhingra (Email:
adhingra(a)wsu.edu). Also arrange for three letters of reference to be
emailed directly to Dr. Dhingra. WSU employs only U.S. citizens and

Associate in Research Position in Horticultural Genomics and
Biotechnology lab at WSU
A position for an Associate in Research position is available
immediately in the Horticultural Genomics and Biotechnology laboratory
at Washington State University. The incumbent will be self-motivated,
proactive and a creative individual who can synthesize basic and applied
approaches in plant biology research. Our program is sequencing the
apple genome and uses high-throughput next-generation genomics platforms
to resolve biological questions in horticultural crops grouped in
Rosaceae and in grapes.
The successful candidate will assist the PI in managing the laboratory,
and perform research in various areas related to genomics, genetics,
transcriptomics, computational biology and biotechnology. The person
will be expected to participate in the laboratory's outreach activities.
Excellent organizational and communication skills are required. In
addition, computer skills for biological data analysis will be
considered favorable. Familiarity with next-generation sequencing
technologies will be advantageous. The person is expected to work with
an interdisciplinary team and demonstrated ability to interact and work
collaboratively with others will be considered favorably.
The selected candidate is expected to design and conduct experiments
independently, and to help in graduate, undergraduate student training.
A MS in plant biology field is required. A Ph.D. in Plant Sciences or
related discipline is preferred. A candidate with BS may be considered
only if they have over 7 years of experience in a similar position. Good
publication record is an advantage. Salary will be commensurate with
experience.

Dear Fruit and Nut Researchers,
As organizer to the Fruit and Nut Workshop at the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG) XVII meeting, I am inviting you to e-mail me a title and a description for an oral talk that you would like to present at this workshop on Saturday, January 10th, 2009. I would like to ensure that new research information about the widest possible number of fruits and nuts are presented at this workshop and not status reports that can be presented as posters.
Please e-mail me a possible title and a short paragraph describing your presentation by Wednesday, September 24th. Make sure to include: Fruit and Nut Workshop in the subject line.
I will e-mail invitations on Friday, September 26th. The deadline for the abstracts is one week later, on Friday, October 3rd.
Feel free to e-mail this request to anyone you would think would be interested.
Your reply will be instrumental to the success of this workshop.

Dear Colleagues,
A few months ago, the US Rosaceae Genetics, Genomics and Breeding
Executive Committee, under the leadership of Gennario Fazio, began
discussing community initiatives. RosBREED: Enablling marker
assisted breeding in Rosaceae, arose from these discussions. As a
result of a conference call last week, a small committee was put
together to further develop our vision and goals for this community
project targeting submission to the fortcoming US Specialty Crop
Research Initiative. I agreed to lead the effort at this point and I
have tentatively agreed to PI the proposal, depending on the due
date. I want to thank the committee, especially Cameron Peace and
Jim Olmstead who had a late night last night, for preparing an
excellent outline for your review. Our goal was to ground the outline
solidly with a vision, mission and justification, yet also provide
sufficient detail on the objectives and approach so that you can
provide critique. We invite your comments and changes to the
attached outline. Please use track changes for your edits etc.
Upon reading the outline, you'll notice that under "Strategies to
achieve objective 1", our goal is to test the robustness of marker
trait associations over a wide range of germplasm (beyond the
populations in which they were first discovered). To achieve this
objective, I would like to ask for your help in compiling a list of
available marker - trait associations. We will use this list as an
in-house document from which we can select marker - trait
associations for the proposed pipeline. Thank you in advance for your help.
Both the outline and table are attached. I began adding to the table
to get it started. Unfortunately we are working on a very tight
deadline and so we would appreciate your comments, suggestions, and
Table additions by next Wed if possible.
We look forward to hearing from you and collaborating in any way possible.
