We are excited about the great line up of invited speakers we have assembled for the 51st Annual Meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America. Five symposia that largely define the field of Phytochemistry have been organized, with each one led by presentations from internationally recognized leaders. These include symposia on Biosynthesis & Metabolism, with featured talks on vitamin C by Argelia Lorence, and enzyme specificity by Kevin Walker, Genomics & Bioinformatics, with featured talks on quantitative genomics by Daniel Klibenstein and metabolic diversity by Anne Osbourn, Botanicals & Medicinals, with featured talks on phytochemical complexity by Paula Brown and metabolic syndrome by Ilya Raskin, and Phytochemicals in the interaction between plansts and their environment, with featured talks on below ground terpene metabolism by Dorothea Tholl and steroidal glycoalkaloids by Jim Tokuhisa. A fifth symposium, Bioproducts From Canadian Forests: Production of Valued Attributes, will feature talks on bioproduct research & development in Canada by Tom Rosser, medicinal plants by John Arnason, bio-oil and bio-char by Franco Berruti, enzyme conversion of forest products into high value polymers by Emma Master and conifer triterpenes by Philipp Zerbe. Each symposium is rounded out by a wide range of presentations chosen from submitted abstracts. Finally, we have an excellent collection of posters assembled comprehensive poster session during the week. We hope you enjoy PSNA 2012! Organizing Committee Mark A. Bernards, PhD Toni M.
