Advances in Plant Molecular Systematics

University of Glasgow, U.K. August 13-15, 1997

The conference will focus on recent advances and developments in the 
rapidly expanding field of plant molecular systematics, with talks 
given by key international speakers. A broad spectrum of the
taxonomic hierarchy will be included, ranging from infra-specific 
variation and population differentiation to high-level phylogeny. 
Particular attention will be given to the applicability of different 
approaches at different taxonomic levels, and the meeting will reflect 
the importance of the linkage between molecular population genetics 
and phylogeny reconstruction to the understanding of evolutionary 
patterns and processes among plants. The integration of molecular and
non-molecular data sets will also be emphasised.
