The purpose of the center is to perform collaborative research and training between the two intuitions in Agriculture, Plant Biology and Evolution. Our key collaborator is Professor Qifa Zhang (Chinese Academy of Science, and USA National Academy of Science member) who runs the National Center of Plant Gene Research (<a href="http://www2.ncpgr.cn/">http://www2.ncpgr.cn/</a>). Many of us have already established active and productive collaborations with HZAU scientists. In order to continue our relationship, and establish new interactions between HZAU and UA, we plan to hold a 1½ day Bilateral Symposium at UA on January 12<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup>.
