The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) annual meeting in Denver, Colorado August 3-7, 2002 will include presentations on the most recent major findings in plant research. Special guest Dr. Norman Borlaug, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Father of the Green Revolution, will speak on "Prospects for World Agriculture in the 21st Century." All programs will be presented in the Adam's Mark Hotel. An embargo on each program is released on the date and start time of each program. Following are some highlights of the science program:
