Dear Colleagues,

We are planning to have a session on genomics, genetics of rootstocks and rootstock/scion interactions and another session on rootstock breeding in August 2008 as part of the ISHS Orchard systems, rootstocks and environmental physiology symposium. I am hoping that you will submit an abstract and participate in that session and other sessions of the symposium.

We have extended the deadline to submit abstracts until March 31, 2008 for the upcoming ISHS Orchard systems, rootstocks and environmental physiology symposium which will be held Aug. 4-8, 2008 at Geneva, New York, USA.

We invite you to submit an abstract and look forward to seeing you in Geneva.

For complete information on the symposium and to submit abstracts please visit the symposium website http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/hort/ishs/

All the best,
