It is one of the friendliest places to present your research, make connections, and nd collaborators. “e size of the Botany Conferences is perfect, not too big or too small,” says Dr. David Gorchov. “And, I am exposed to the cutting edge research outside my discipline of ecology.” Dr. Ranessa Cooper started coming to BOTANY conferences as an undergrad 20 years ago. "is is my meeting,” she stresses. "ere is no better meeting to adopt. I love to come because of the great people and the breadth of science." You are going to love our location! Sundance Square and Downtown Fort Worth have so much to oer! Other than great places to eat and drink, from cheap to fancy, be sure to devote a few hours to walking around and visiting the shops, the Sid Richardson Art Museum, Bass Hall, the Water Gardens, and more.

  • The Archaeology of Maize
    chapter 1 The Archaeology of Maize the domesticators domesticated The story of maize begins at least 9,000 years ago in southwestern Mex- ico as small groups of nomadic people found themselves attracted to stands of a rather tall, bushy tropical grass now known as teosinte (fi gure 1.1). We don’t know what name these early indigenous Mexi- cans had for teosinte, but by the time of the Spanish Conquest there were many names for it, including cincocopi, acecintle, atzitzintle.1 Today evidence of these fi rst farmers and the teosinte plants they har- vested is almost invisible—but we can see some traces left behind by the early descendants of both the plants and the people. For example, pho- tographs of the tiny maize cobs, classifi ed as Zea mays ssp. mays, that were found in Guilá Naquitz cave, Oaxaca, by Kent Flannery and his crew in the mid-1960s show parts of the earliest known individual plants that are descended from an ancestral teosinte plant (fi gures 1.2 and 1.3).2 In order for these cobs, which are directly dated to 6,230 cal BP,3 to have existed, not only did the ancient Oaxaqueños living near Guilá Naquitz cave have to have planted individual seeds, but their ancestors and neighbors also had to have planted and harvested teosinte seeds for hundreds of previous generations. We do not know if these particular early Oaxacan maize plants themselves had descendants. After all, their seeds could have been com- pletely consumed by people or animals and not gone on to propagate 17 BBlakelake - 99780520276871.indd780520276871.indd 1717 005/06/155/06/15 99:06:06 PPMM figure 1.1.

    Hugh H. Iltis Doctor Honoris Causa 2 El maíz ha sido una de las grandes contribuciones de México al mundo y el Dr. Hugh Iltis es uno de los científicos que con mayor tenacidad ha dedicado su vida a desentrañar los misterios evolutivos del segundo grano de mayor importancia en el planeta. La Universidad de Guadalajara brinda un reconocimiento al trabajo del Dr. Iltis, colaborador nuestro durante tres décadas ininterrumpidas, cuyas aportaciones no sólo representan avances ante los desafíos intelectuales de la investigación básica, sino también en la formación de recursos humanos, y en la aplicación práctica del conocimiento para la conservación de los recursos naturales y alimentarios de un mundo en franco deterioro. Historia personal Hugh H. Iltis nació el 7 de abril de 1925 en Brno, Checoslovaquia. Su padre, el destacado naturista Hugo Iltis, fue profesor de Biología, Botánica y Genética en Brünn Checoslovaquia y profesor de Biología en la Universidad de Virginia. Siendo niño tuvo que migrar a los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica como refugiado cuando su país fue invadido por los nazis. Estimulado por su padre, se interesó en la genética y la botánica, muy pronto se entusiasmó por la Taxonomía y la Evolución de las plantas. Su carrera como botánico inició a muy temprana edad, pues a los 14 años ya había construido su propio herbario, y los ejemplares contaban con sus nombres en latín y descripciones. Estos ejemplares tuvieron que ser vendidos para ayudarse en sus estudios en la Universidad de Tennessee. Al año de haber iniciado en la universidad, tuvo que incorporarse al ejército de los Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, donde participó como analista de información 3 Hugh H.
