Abstract Guidelines and Submission

Note: Abstracts MUST be submitted by April 15, 2005 (Deadline has passed) to be considered for inclusion in the symposium agenda. 

All those who attend the symposium are welcome to submit an abstract for review by the NPLC Scientific Organizing Committee. 

On the registration form, you will be asked indicate if you have a preference for an oral presentation or a poster.  Please note that there are a limited number of time slots for oral presentations.  If there are more requests for oral presentations than there are time slots, some researchers may be asked to present a poster instead, even if their preferences were to do an oral presentation. 

We request that abstracts now be submitted via the "upload" function below.  Our program will support documents in Word or .pdf format.  However, we prefer that you upload your file in Word format to ease the editing process.  

Format:
Abstracts should be written in Arial font in 10 point size.  Whether you are submitting an abstract for an oral presentation or a poster, the heading for the abstract should be formatted as follows:

Title in bold. Authors listed, with the presenter's name first and underlined. (Please spell out both first names and surnames.)  Contact address (including organization/institution).  

Example:
Plant fatty acids and glycerolipids. Joe C. Bloggs and Jane Smith. Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, 975 N. Warson Road, St. Louis, MO 63132

Abstracts are limited to one page.

File Name:
Please name the file that you upload with the presenter's last name (for example, Bloggs.doc).

Abstract Upload:
The upload function will be enabled beginning January 15, 2005.
