Abstract Submission:
All abstracts must be submitted electronically by Jan. 31, 2011. Use the link below to begin the process of submitting your abstract. Those who plan to be away near the time of the submission deadline tending to winter crops should submit abstracts in advance. Please indicate on the abstract form whether you wish to present a talk or a poster. Do not check both options. Time constraints on the meeting may mean that some authors who request oral presentations will be asked to present their data in poster format instead.
Abstracts should be submitted under one of the eight session categories listed on this abstract submission page and meeting website. The list of research categories has changed slightly from previous meetings.
Abstract submission is now closed. No more abstracts are being accepted.
Logo Contest Submission:
The logo for the cover of the abstract book will be selected from submissions by cooperators. Those who wish to express their enthusiasm for maize in artistic form are encouraged to submit original artwork (i.e. copyright-free), by January 31, 2011.
Logo submission is now closed. No more logos are being accepted.
Author Presentation Notification:
Authors of abstracts selected for oral presentations will be informed by email by February 14, 2011. Authors should check the meeting website to make sure that their abstracts are posted and contain no errors. If you have not received any information about your abstract, and it is not accessible on the web site by February 21, 2011, please contact Erik Vollbrecht by e-mail at [email protected].
