POSTER abstracts will be presented only during the November 18 meeting date.
Edit and proof your abstract before submitting. Cereals and Grains will not edit abstract submissions; they will be published as submitted.

The designated presenting author (of either an oral technical or poster) MUST be registered for the Cereals & Grains 21 Annual Meeting and pay the fee by the dates indicated in your acceptance emails, to be sent in June. Failure to register will result in your abstract(s) being withdrawn from the meeting.
Abstracts should be proofed to make sure all authors and affiliations were accepted to the online form.
Publications of tables, charts, and graphs projected onto screens or posted at the annual meeting by anyone other than an author or presenter is prohibited unless a release has been requested and received in writing from an author or presenter.
