The abstracts are now available on the web from the 6th International Rice Genetics Symposium that took place on 16-19 November 2009 in Manila, Philippines. Organized every 4-5 years since 1985 by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the symposiums aim was to "showcase the latest developments in the field, including research on breeding, mapping of genes and quantitative trait loci, identification and cloning of candidate genes for biotic and abiotic stresses, gene expression, and genomic databases and mutant induction for functional genomics". The 365-page publication contains abstracts from the plenary, concurrent and poster sessions and from two workshops. The symposium was held in conjunction with the 7th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics. See http://ricegenetics.com/ or contact [email protected] for more information.
