Subject: one week extension to register the 2014 ICGI Research Conference
Greetings to All ICGI members!
We hope everyone is doing well.
As some members are busy with cotton planting and suggest to extend one week to register the 2014 ICGI Research Conference, the deadline for this conference will be extended to May 7. So, please register and submit your abstract at http://www.cottongen.org/icgi/conference_2014/home before that time, otherwise you need to book hotel yourself.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2014 ICGI Research Conference to be held from 25-28 September in Wuhan, Hubei, China, hosted by Huazhong Agricultural University. Let's together EXPERIENCE THE PAST AND EXPLORE THE FUTURE after the sequencing of cultivated cotton genomes.
Sincerely,

Good news. The Esquel group, one of the most dynamic and progressive global-scale textile and apparel manufacturers, and participant and sponsor of genome sequencing of the extra long staple cotton will financially support the 2014 Biennial Conference of the International Cotton Genome Initiative (ICGI). The Esquel Fellowship will support 5~10 scientists and graduates from the developing countries to attend this conference. Anyone who is interested in applying the fellowship, please register and submit your abstract at http://www.cottongen.org/icgi/conference_2014/home, and send an application letter including how much money you want to apply and your vitae to me.
