You are invited to submit abstracts for the 2013 Southern Division Meeting Meeting. The SD-APS program will consist of of both oral and poster presentations. Abstracts must be submitted online (see instructions below). The $45 fee applies for your abstract to be published in a Phytopathology supplement issue and will be collected when you register for the meeting. New this year is a $35 additional fee if you have a poster presentation. In order to avoid grammatical mistakes in the published abstracts, authors should have their abstracts reviewed by colleagues in their departments.
