Agricultural Gene-Flow Workshop in September

The Agricultural Gene-Flow Workshop will be held in September 7 and 8, 2011 in Washington D. C. to discuss gene flow in agriculture, and technologies for controlling it. The workshop will focus on current and future strategies, both transgenic and nontransgenic, to minimize gene flow and maintain seed purity in all sectors of agriculture. The workshop, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will feature speakers from the United States and Canada, including four UC Davis scientists. More information and registration are available online at: http://sbc.ucdavis.edu/.
