Welcome<br />

Dear Delegate,<br />

Welcome to the 20th International Conference for Arabidopsis Research (ICAR).<br />

Following on from previous conferences in Montréal, Beijing and Madison, we are celebrating<br />

the 20th Anniversary of ICAR in the beautiful and historic city of <strong>Edinburgh</strong>.<br />

From its inception, ICAR has brought together scientists from across the globe to meet and<br />

discuss their work and establish new collaborations and ventures and I hope that this years’<br />

meeting will continue to fulfil these ideals.<br />

The conference has attracted over 850 delegates from more than 37 countries. There will be<br />

over 70 lectures and approximately 600 posters reflecting the wealth and breadth of Arabidopsis<br />

research that is undertaken across the world.<br />

I would like to thank all the Chairs of the scientific sessions and members of the organising<br />

committee for their help and enthusiasm in preparing the programme. I would also like to thank<br />

the BBSRC and other sponsors for their kind support.<br />

I hope you enjoy the 20th ICAR and your stay in <strong>Edinburgh</strong>.<br />

Ruth Bastow<br />

On behalf of the UK Scientific and Organising Committee<br />
