Xth BALBIANI RING WORKSHOP IN VARNA, BULGARIA By P. Michailova Institute of Zoology, Sofia, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences he Xth Balbiani Ring workshop was held on August 31 - September 4, 2001 in Varna - the third largest city in Bulgaria, the queen of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. 27 participants were received at Xth Workshop by the host Prof.P. Michailova in the famous International House of Scientists " Fr.Joliot - Curie", St. Constantine, Varna. Institute of Zoology, laboratory of " Cytotaxonomy and Evolution" with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences organized this jubilee Balbiani Ring Workshop, the first in the new century. Twenty years ago prof. I.I. Kiknadze and her collaborators organized in Novosobirsk the first Symposium on " Organization and expression of tissue specific genes" having as a main topic the so called Balbiani Ring structure of the chromosomes in a particular group of insects (Diptera), especially the family Chironomidae. Later, these Symposia were renamed Balbiani Ring Workshop. Every two years such workshops have been held in different countries in the world where molecular and cytological aspects of Balbiani Ring structure as well as a wide spectrum of problems such as heterochromatin, repetitive DNA, molecular and karyotype evolution, were discussed. Director of the Institute of the Zoology, Corr. member Prof. V. Golemansky opened the Xth Balbiani Ring workshop by a welcome address done by him and by the President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Acad. I. Yuhnovski. Prof. Kiknadze prepared the Balbiani Ring workshop’s history lecture "From gene to genome". Famous specialists came from USA, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Germany, Italy and Bulgaria to participate in the workshop. A total of 25 papers directly concerning Balbiani ring structure were presented during the workshop. They were presented in four sessions: Gene and amplification, Gene structure and evolution, Transposable elements and variability, Chromosome structure and evolution. 1 Workshop, looking at the poster The program of the workshop offered sessions dealing with general progress at contrasting levels: from molecules to whole organisms, from biodiversity to evolution. The abstract book of the BR workshop appeared before the workshop. The workshop offered the opportunity for old friends to meet again, for colleagues from different countries to make new contacts and to develop new ideas. For one day all participants enjoyed the Bulgarian nature and customs, visiting the Botanical garden in north Bulgaria - Balchik and a typical Bulgarian village. We discussed the possibilities of the next BR workshop. Different opinions were considered: either to be a workshop at the next Chironomidae Symposium which will be in USA, or to be a workshop at the next congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). We believe that Xth BR workshop was successful and fruitful and all foreign guests had a pleasant stay in the beautiful ancient resort on the Black sea coast - St. Constantine 1 Abstracts referring to Chironomidae: see Current Bibliography 36 View at the Botanical Garden, Balchik
