32nd Fungal Genetics Conference
32nd Fungal Genetics Conference
Time is available from 12:30–1:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for ad hoc sessions. The sessions must end at 1:45 p.m. so that the room can be prepared for the concurrent sessions.
Those wishing to convene an ad-hoc session should contact mahoney@genetics-gsa.org by November 20, 2023 with the title and date they would like to hold the session, and the number of people expected to attend. The session information will be sent to the scientific organizers for final approval before being added to the schedule. Ad hoc organizers will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the session, including speaker presentations. The ad hoc session information must be received by January 4, 2024 to be included in the program book.
We are not accepting any more requests for pre-meeting workshops. A registration fee will be charged for the pre-meeting workshops.

The 2nd Symposium on the Basal Fungal Kingdom will be held for the first time at the Fungal Genetics Conference. We aim to celebrate the diversity of the fungal kingdom by bringing together people from all biological fields with an interest in the basal or early-diverging fungal phyla (Mucoromycota, Glomeromycota, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, and many others). We are very much looking forward to a day of talks and lively discussions on all the new developments in this versatile group of fungi, encompassing all aspects of genetics, genomics, ecology, host-fungal interactions, endosymbiosis, antifungal drug resistance, physiology, and secondary metabolism.

We invite the Fusarium community to discuss latest updates on our favorite fungal genus. Fusarium is one of the species-richest groups of fungi, encompassing plant fitness-promoting endophytes, devastating plant pathogens, and also severe opportunistic human pathogens. Additionally, Fusarium species are of great interest as potent mycotoxin/natural products producers. If you wish to submit an abstract for #Fusariumworkshop that is NOT going to be presented at the Fungal Genetics Conference, please submit via email to thomas.t.baldwin@ndsu.edu. The general abstract submission guidelines apply.
