Call for Abstracts
Participants interested in presenting either an oral paper or a poster are invited to submit an abstract. The Scientific Committee will review submitted abstracts to determine those best suited for oral presentation. All authors are expected to submit a complete manuscript for publication in a forthcoming edition of Acta Horticulturae. Each manuscript will be peer reviewed prior to publication. All participants (except single day registrants) will receive a copy of the conference proceeding (Acta Horticulturae) when published.
The abstract submission deadline is 9 April 2010. Acceptance / rejection of abstracts, and form of presentation (oral vs. poster) will be communicated to authors by 7 May 2010.
To submit an abstract click on the above link and follow the instructions to register with the DSpace system. Once registered, you can submit your abstract. Abstract submission help is available on the above site in the form of pdf documents and a quicktime movie. The presenting author must register for the conference by the early registration deadline. Failure to register will result in removal of the abstract from the program. The paper should not have been previously published and must be scientifically sound. Abstracts should normally be no longer than 350 words.
