RosEXEC elections - last chance to vote!

by Peace, Cameron

Dear Rosaceae GGB community, Only one day left for voting for five new U.S. RosEXEC members and two RosEXEC international liaisons. Polls close 5:00 pm PST (Friday April 4). Anyone that is U.S.-based and interested in genomics, genetics, and/or breeding of rosaceous crops is eligible to vote. Conceivably, this includes about 200 million people, but it at least includes industry personnel, educators, extension agents, administrators, students, and avid consumers, in addition to the 25 mostly genomicists, geneticists, and breeders who have already voted. So if you have not yet expressed your preferences, please hop on to www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2008_vote_form.cgi <https://connect.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.bioinfo.wsu.ed…> and vote! Please also direct your Rosaceae GGB colleagues to this site (and encourage them to also sign up for the GDR mailing list if they aren't already on it). Across the country, we all have a voice in future directions of the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding initiative. Currently, only one vote separates U.S. candidates running 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Only one vote also separates 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions for international liaison candidates. Each new vote WILL COUNT! The RosEXEC Membership Committee

International Working Group on Comparative Mapping

by Dan Sargent (EMR)

Dear Rosaceous Genomics Community members. During the recent Rosaceous Genomics Conference in Chile, it was decided that there should be a coordinated community effort towards comparative mapping, and that we should set up an international working group to attempt to meet these aims. I volunteered to act as interim chair of this working group whilst it is established and therefore I am currently drawing up a list of people from the community with an interest in comparative mapping and transferable markers with whom I will communicate over the coming weeks. I have already identified a number of people within the community who are working on topics related to comparative mapping, but I want to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have a wish to be a part of any correspondence relating to this working group and/or want to be involved in this community effort, then please could you email me at dan.sargent(a)emr.ac.uk? Once I have a list of interested people, I will be contacting you further. Ideally I would like to have responses from interested parties by the end of next week (11th April 2008) so that I can get some kind of GDR mailing list sorted out etc. I will look forward to hearing from you all in the near future, All the best Dan Sargent Dr Daniel James Sargent East Malling Research New Road East Malling Kent ME19 6BJ, UK dan.sargent(a)emr.ac.uk Telephone: +44 (0) 1732 523 747 Fax: +44 (0) 1732 849 067 East Malling Research registered office: New Road, East Malling, Kent ME19 6BJ.

RosEXEC ELECTIONS 2008

by Peace, Cameron

RosEXEC ELECTIONS 2008 The US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC) will be electing five new members to replace outgoing members. RosEXEC serves as a communication and coordination focal point for the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding (GGB) community. We have four objectives: 1. Define research priorities based on input from the industry and the research community 2. Foster scientific interaction and dynamic research teams 3. Promote research priorities 4. Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public RosEXEC meets in person at annual Plant and Animal Genome conferences and holds quarterly teleconferences. In 2008, Kevin Folta is the outgoing Chair and Gennaro Fazio is the incoming Chair. More information on RosEXEC can be found on the GDR at www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/, including a list of all 2007 members (www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/membership/index.shtml). The election process is only open to U.S.-based Rosaceae GGB community members, regardless of citizenship. Up to five votes can be cast per person. Please strive to represent the diversity of our community by electing candidates from various crop interests, institutional affiliations, and geographical locations. Elections will be held electronically via the GDR at www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2008_vote_form.cg i. The US RosEXEC Membership Committee has suggested some candidates on the voting form posted on the GDR, and we urge interested community members to nominate other qualified candidates: this can be done via the voting page, or by directly contacting Cameron Peace (cpeace(a)wsu.edu). Outgoing RosEXEC members (Herb Aldwinckle, Amy Iezzoni, Kim Lewers, and Jim McFerson) are not eligible for re-election until 2009. New US RosEXEC members will be selected by vote totals and will serve three-year terms. Please note that you can also nominate and vote on up to two members as International Liaisons for the U.S. RosEXEC. Current members are Sue Gardiner and Herman Silva, with Pere Arus revolving off. We will add two new international liaisons in 2008, who will serve two-year terms. If you have any problems using the voting page, please email Dorrie Main (dorrie(a)wsu.edu). The deadline for voting is in one week: Friday 4 Apr 2008, 5pm PST. Cameron Peace, on behalf of the RosEXEC Membership Committee

ISHS Commission Biotechnology and Molecular Biology BIOTECHFRUIT2008 First International Symposium on Biotechnology of Fruit Species ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DATE IS EXTENDED TO MARCH 31, 2008 Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to the First International Symposium on Biotechnology of Fruit Species. The meeting will be held in Dresden, Germany from September 1 - 5, 2008. This Symposium builds on the previous symposia of tropical and subtropical species and follows the very successful Symposium in Daytona, Florida in 2005, which covered biotechnology and transformation of tropical and temperate species. The Symposium in Dresden will explore the progress being made in temperate, tropical and subtropical fruit species. The purpose is to provide a forum for scientists to share their results and experiences in the application of different biotechnology tools for genetic improvement of fruit crops. This meeting will foster interactions amongst research groups from developing and developed countries from all over the world. For further information including details for submission of abstracts, please visit the symposium website http://www.biotechfruit2008.bafz.de/ Or email the Symposium Secretariat on biotechfruit2008(a)bafz.de < <mailto:biotechfruit2008@bafz.de> mailto:biotechfruit2008@bafz.de> We look forward to meeting you in Dresden in September 2008.
