Since 2006, the international peanut genomics research community has worked through the Peanut Genome Initiative (PGI) to integrate genomic and biotechnological approaches into the process for developing effective environmentally benign solutions that help reduce economic risks of peanut production. The PGI has facilitated improved collaboration between international scientists and stakeholders through a series of international conferences on Advances in Arachis through Genomics and Biotechnology (AAGB). AAGB meetings provide a forum to develop, implement and account results of work toward strategic plans that ultimately lead to more productive varieties and enhanced quality products. The program will include genomic presentations of diploid species and the cultivated species, use of molecular technologies for crop improvement, advances in sequencing and genomic science. Come join us November 5-7th in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and help us move peanuts forward in the 21st century.
Call for Abstracts. The Organizing Committee invites scientists/postdoctoral associates/students to participate and make poster presentations at the research conference. Abstracts of maximum 250 words should be submitted electronically in Microsoft WORD format. Please also visit the conference’s website at https://www.peanutfoundation.org/2015-aagb-conference for the meeting agenda and updates.
