General Policies and Requirements

• The presenting author will be required to register for the Conference to ensure their submission(s) is included in the final program. The deadline for presenting author registration is Monday, 21 July 2025
• All submissions must be completed electronically via the online submission facility. If you are unable to submit in this manner, please contact the Conference Managers at [email protected] for further information.
• All abstracts must be prepared according to the guidelines provided below. Submissions will only be accepted if submitted within the format and layout guidelines.
• There is no limit to the number of abstracts that may be submitted by an individual. However, splitting of a body of work into multiple abstracts is discouraged and consolidation into one abstract is preferred. In addition, a maximum of one oral presentation may be allocated to an accepted author.
• Authors are required to acknowledge that by submitting an abstract, permission is automatically given for the abstract (if accepted) to be made available on the website and via the app, and possibly published more broadly.

Abstract Submission Guidelines

Please carefully read the following guidelines to ensure that you have submitted your abstract correctly:

• Abstracts must not exceed a 300-word limit. The word limit relates only to the text of the abstract and does not include title, authors and institutions.
• Use single line spacing.
• No tables, figures or images are allowed.
• Abstract(s) must be free of typographical and grammatical errors.
• Standard abbreviations may be used for common terms only. Otherwise, any abbreviation should be given in brackets after the first full use of the word. Abbreviations may be used in the title, provided the name in full is outlined in the body of the abstract.
• Please include degrees or professional titles (e.g. Dr, Prof., etc).
• You will be required to provide the names, affiliations and emails of all co-authors of the abstract.
• Presenters must disclose any potential conflict of interest.
• You will be asked to provide a short biography (up to 150 words) with your submission.
• You will be asked to nominate your preference for oral or poster presentation.
•  It is the author’s responsibility to ensure the title, author and affiliation details entered in the paper submission site are correct and exactly as they should be published on the abstract and all Conference materials.
• The abstract should be a summary of the whole paper, briefly outlining the key features, results, and conclusions of the work together with their significance.
• Authors are requested to indicate the conference theme that their abstract relates to.
• Authors are entered separately within the abstract submission portal and will format automatically to the required standard. NOTE: The order of the authors entered in the portal will be reflected in final publications.

Submission types

The ASSC Committees welcome abstract submissions for the following presentation types from individuals, groups and organisations, including but not limited to pre-breeding researchers, plant breeders, seed scientists, commercial and community seed/gene bank managers, native plant nursery operators, seed orchard managers, food and fibre producers, restoration practitioners, industry stakeholders and community leaders.

All presentation types are equally valued contributions and different presentation formats may be best suited to different kinds of content. Delegates are encouraged to select the presentation format that best suits the material to be presented. An opportunity for questions will be provided at the end of each theme session for both presentations and posters. The Program Committee reserve the right to offer a different format if required for the program.
