National Seed Science Forum 14 -16 March 2016 |
The Australian Seed Bank Partnership is pleased to call for proposals for the National Seed Science Forum programme. Presentations that cover descriptive or mechanistic seed science, theoretical seed research, and/or their application for effective seed use are encouraged from conservation, restoration and agricultural perspectives. The programme themes have been collated to span the breadth of seed science. For each of the four themes, sub-themes have been developed to demonstrate the range of topics that the Forum seeks to showcase. Theme A: Dormancy and germination Theme B: Seed storage, conservation and utilisation Theme C: Establishment and management Theme D: Seed ecology Abstracts can be submitted for the following presentation types:
- Oral presentation (15 minute presentation, including discussion)
- Rapid fire presentation (5 minute presentation, no discussion)
- Poster presentation
A photo competition will be run as part of the Forum and details will be available soon. Forum grants A small number of grants are available to assist presenters - in particular to support early career researchers or those travelling large distances from regional areas or interstate. The grant is for Forum registration fees. These grants are only available to a presenting author and must be applied for during the abstract submission process. Key dates
