[fhb] Registration Open for GDER & PBG Joint Mid-Year Virtual Meeting

[USWBSI's general mailing list]

Dear FHB Community, 

The Gene Discovery and Engineering Resistance (GDER) and Pathogen Biology
and Genetics (PBG) research area committees of the USWBSI are planning a
mid-year joint meeting which will take place virtually on Thursday, April
23, from 12:00-5:00 PM CST. The purpose of this meeting is to facilitate
increased interaction and collaboration between these two research areas.
GDER focuses on understanding genes and mechanisms of host resistance and
susceptibility, and implementation of novel approaches to disease
management, while PBG focuses on the pathogen side of the interaction and
attempts to identify pathogenicity factors that represent viable targets for
disease management. The combined goals of GDER and PBG offer the best
possibility of developing novel, effective Fusarium Head Blight management
approaches that can be applied in the field.
