Scope
The ongoing effort to sequence the Populus genome is enabling new areas of research related to the genetic basis of adaptation. This symposium will explore the prospects for capitalizing upon model plant research and integrating molecular studies with traditional ecological and population genetics approaches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which plants adapt and respond to environmental stresses.
New Phytologist sees areas at the interface between genomics and ecology, and the genetic basis of environmental adaptation as rapidly expanding key themes for the future. In light of this we are redefining the scope of the Function Section with a view to encouraging the best of the new emerging research. The 12th New Phytologist Symposium will hopefully not only serve to stimulate research in Populus, but also highlight the new perspectives of the Function section. We will also be producing a special issue based on the subject of the meeting.
