Sixth International
Symposium on Pre-Harvest Sprouting in Cereals
(July 25-29, 1992 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho USA)
This interdisciplinary symposium is designed to facilitate
communication among those who are actively interested in and working
on problems related to pre-harvest sprouting in cereals. Topics
include mechanisms of dormancy, influence of environmental and
agronomic factors, molecular regulation of seed development and
germination, genetics and plant breeding, effects of sprouting damage
on cereal end products, and sprouting damage assay methods.
Final Call of Papers: Research reports and critical reviews on all
aspects of preharvest sprouting in cereals are invited. Participants
wishing to present an oral paper or poster should complete the
Abstract from of the Second Circular. The completed form and one copy
should be sent by air mail to M. K. Walker-Simmons, and received
before May 15, 1992.
Proceedings: The proceedings will be published by the American
Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) in a volume entitled
Pre-Harvest sprouting in Cereals 1992.

Genome Mapping of Wheat and Related Species
(Sept. 23-25, 1992, at CIMMYT Headquater, Mexico)
The third annual international workshop on genome mapping of wheat
and related species is open to anyone interested in the use of
molecular markers for genetics and breeding of cereal crops, which is
sponsored by the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI).
The objectives of the workshop will be to provide up-to-date reports
on progress in molecular genetic mapping, and to provide a setting
for interaction between scientists and the cereal crop industry.
The workshop will include the invited presentations which will adress
strategies and techniques of genetic and physical mapping, the use of
genetic stocks in mapping, and the progress of mapping in wheat and
related species. Oral or poster presentations on related topics are
invited. No registration fee will be charged, but space is limited to
apporoximately 60 participants, so advance registration is required.
Registration deadline is 1 June,1992, mailing to;
